Did you know that today is "National Talk Like a Pirate Day"? It's the truth. I discovered it last year when one of my music curriculum magazines published a song dedicated to this special holiday. Well today I learned...the rest of the story...
Turns out these two average guys are playing racketball (I have no idea how to spell this word!) and start talking like pirates (I'm not even kidding!). Then they get to talking and I would think it went something like this (in a pirate accent of course):
"Aye Mate, this talking like a pirate!"
"Shiver me timbers, let's try to make it a holiday."
"Even better...a national holiday"
"Aye and let's do it on September 19, for this is my ex-wife's birthday (I do not tell a
lie!) ...we could make her walk the plank!"
This is the true story of how "Talk Like A Pirate Day" came about. I leave you with the lyrics of a song entitled, "Talk Like A Pirate."
Chorus:
Talk like a Pirate Day, talk like a pirate now! ARRRRRR!
Talk like a Pirate Day today, Pirate Day!
Talk like a pirate on his boat, talk like a pirate now! ARRRRR!
Talk like a pirate on his boat, on his boat!
Shiver me timbers! Walk the plank!
Scurvy Dogs! Ahoy matey!
Swab the deck! Yo ho ho!
Chorus
Repeat above
X Marks the spot! A pirate's life for me.
