The Shanty of Ol' JackRum

JackRum set sail from Betheshee.
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
And come upon this dive at Remley.
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
He met a dame in a scarlet cloak;
She talked like JackRum's type o' rogue;
But ol' JackRum's under no dame's yolk!
She called her friend by t'name o' Node.
He come chargin' like a xith-laden load!
An' JackRum's ship did he vow t'explode!
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!

Now JackRum saw he be caught in their trap.
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
But this Unknown fella seemed like a good chap.
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
They filled his drink with their Borg nanites,
And ol' JackRum drank like a sprite.
All the more to the lady's delight!
Seeker then drove up in his bus.
JackRum felt strange and so told em thus.
The lady laughed, he made such a fuss.
With a yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!

The ver' next day ol' JackRum awoke.
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
And noticed he be a mechanical bloke.
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
Now a giant cube floats along through space,
A'carryin' JackRum's newfound race,
A floatin' citadel for a pirate base!
If ye be about an' see me out there,
Best send t'yer gods a quick-like prayer,
For ol' JackRum's in the captain's chair!
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!

Very nice indeed Jack, and btw, you owe me a new cloak to replace the one you spilled your drink on :)

A cyborged pirate? Isn't that the definition of serco?

Been there, done that, moved on...

At least this shanty's better than what the Riddler and his would-be lyrical opponents subject us to.

Jexkefodder, didn't yer ol' mum ever tell yez if ye had nothin' nice t'say, t'shut yer trap? Why d'yez even come t'the forums, matey, since all yez ever do is complain an' troll? Ol' Rum has never seen yez actually contribute anything to a conversation, not the least somethin' constructive. This be the rp forum, ye scurvey dog, try t'be a little less of a pain, on y'honor, matey.

You must have missed my opinions in the general and suggestions forums, then.

As for the RP forum, as in-game, I'm an annoyin' little troll who can't back up his words in a fair (or unfair, for that matter) fight.

Still, if you feel your shanty was as bad as anything of the Riddler and resent I said it was better, then, by all means, it sucks, sorry for liking it, won't do it again if you don't.
