Dear Blue; A Pirate-ish Plea

Twas the day of the pirates, and much to my surprise,
There were pirate-dressed revelers, who would grant a disguise,
The cities were full of them, and I then got a tell,
Saying 'Go to Booty Bay! They're out there as well!'

With untold delight, to that city I flew,
So long since I'd been there, seen anything new,
A pirate invasion! A day of revelry!
For other pirates maybe, but alas, not for me.

I sprang off my mount and let out a shout-
"If this city's taken over, why are guards still out?!"
And as I bravely fought off the goblin defender,
My eyes took in the supposed 'party' and 'splendor':

There's pirates! There's dancing! There's guards unaware!
There's a crew there proclaiming that Booty Bay's theirs!
No pillaging? No plunder? Not even a body!
This ain't no invasion, it's a g-dam*ned tea party!

Where's the screaming of women, the weeping of kids,
Where's all of the bad things that pirating is?
And I hate to be picky, but most importantly,
The guards all like THEM, but where's MY amnesty?

How come I'm still hated on today of all days,
When supposedly we're celebratin' the pirating ways?
And if you be lookin' for me to clarify that,
I'll be sulkin' on the beach with my parrot and hat.

I understand yer saddened
By the Bloodsail's lack of claim
But don't ferget that Booty Bay
Be still in Seahorn's name.

While the Bloodsail plunder 'round,
Blackwater keeps the bay,
And Bruisers get Blackwater gold
To keep peace in the quay.

Ye chose yer colors fairly
And ye still must pay yer due;
But DeMeza's lot be willin'
Ter accept ye in her crew.

Just make yer way atop the roof
An' claim what's yers to rights;
If yer sails be flyin' bloody
Than ye chose Blackwater fights.

Isn't that pronounced like "key?"


That be one way of sayin' it, but not all.
