Ahoy mates! September 19 ’tis ’bout to close, an’ International Talk Like a Pirate Day be over. Talkin’ like a pirate fer a day not be enough for this ol’ scallywag. Me wore me rag, me eye patch, an’ me hooped ear ring. Arr-r-r-r-r! Me parrot done flown off, but me trusty first pup took a likin’ to the perch on me shoulder.
Me guest landlubbers at ye Munro House Bed and Breakfast in Jonesville, Michigan, were not akin to the holiday. Lo, they be in the jolly spirit ‘fore long, for me prepared a grand motherload fine meal first thing this early morn’.
Shiver me timbers! They done heralded me “Captain Cook”–for me been smartly preparin’ a handsome bounty of great fine grub in me galley. Arr-r-r-r-r-r-r.
None more day like this ’til September 19 o’ next year. Lo, Halloween be a right fittin’ day to parlay the pirate spirit once again, Arr-r-r-r-r-r-r-r!
