I wish I could speak like a pirate, but unfortunately I haven’t seen enough pirate movies in English to memorize any of their speech manners. Why would I want to talk like a pirate? Well, today is International Talk Like a Pirate Day!!!
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Talk_Like_a_Pirate_Day)
“To all buccaneers, rascals, and old scallywags
(those with lots o' loot and those only with rags):
Ye be invited to a hearty piratey Halloween party,
on Halloween night, startin' around seven-tharty.
Ye should come dressed in yer swash-bucklin' best:
ye needs a wooden peg leg or an old eye patch,
a fierce-lookin' hook or a beard ye can scratch.
We's gots snacks and drinks enough fer a large crew,
ye should bring somethin' along to eat or drink too.
We'll drink lots o' rum faster than ye can blink,
pirates all know ye can't have too much o' that drink.
Ye'll find our abode down the Road.
It's a-facin' the sea and thar easterly breeze,
in the front yard is bunches o' coconut trees.
We'll see ye next month, tho it's a long ways away,
just remember ye gots to talk like a pirate today!”
I know we are the place where the days ends… so for most of you is already tomorrow, but if you read this post and it is still the 19 of September… say a couple of pirates words and thing of us, pirates and lost kids in Neverland!
From Captain Hook:
"Avast belay, yo ho, heave to,
A-pirating we go
And if we're parted by a shot
We're sure to meet below!"
"Yo ho, yo ho, the pirate life,
The flag o'skull and bones
A merry hour, a hempen rope
And 'hey' for Davy Jones!"
