"The Twelve Days Of Pirates," or Yo-Ho-Ho! Merry Pirates!
The board game Pirate's Cove has twelve rounds, referred to as days. When the [livejournal.com profile] chez_turtle crowd realized this, it was inevitable...

"The Twelve Days Of Pirates"
by Will "scifantasy" Frank, Reuven [livejournal.com profile] ryvex, [livejournal.com profile] chelona, [livejournal.com profile] xydexx, [livejournal.com profile] rigelkitty, and [livejournal.com profile] justpoet
ttto: "The Twelve Days Of Christmas," trad.

On the first day of pirates, my crewmen gave to me...
A parrot in the crow's nest.

On the second day of pirates, my crewmen gave to me...
Two chests of booty
And a parrot in the crow's nest.

On the third day of pirates, my crewmen gave to me...
Three pirate's hats
Two chests of booty
And a parrot in the crow's nest.

(You get it, so here's the rest.)

...Four cannonballs

...Five Gold Doubloons!

...Six sabres slashing

...Seven Seas a-sailing

...Eight wenches wenching

...Nine deckhands swabbing

...Ten buckles swashing

...Eleven kegs of cheap rum

...Twelve ports to plunder.

I do not apologize.

Having not recalled this and just stumbled upon it now, I fully intend to use this at my school's annual protest against scurvy.

Did you know one in three Buccaneer-Americans are afflicted with scurvy?
