The panic will end at the disco
Which I feel is somewhat amiss, though
Has it been so long
Since first they sang songs?
The passing of time I would wish slowed!

Free to every good #SeaShanty / #Shantydon home—

Over the years, I’ve added a couple of my own verses to “All for Me Grog”. Here are the three I like best.

It’s all for me hat, me noggin’ noggin hat
(It’s all gone for beer and tobacco)
Well the feather’s fallen out, and the brim is kicked about
And me hair is lookin’ out for better weather

It’s all for me sword, me noggin’ noggin’ sword
(It’s all gone for beer and tobacco)
Well the hilt has got a dent, and the blade is rather bent
And me sword is gettin’ rusty in this weather

It’s all for me glass, me noggin’ spyin’ glass
(It’s all gone for beer and tobacco)
When I look it gives a squeak, it leave rings upon me cheek
And me glass is getting foggy in this weather

Ukraine will be getting some tanks
Which ought to encourage their ranks
With Abrams and Leopards
Will Russians get peppered?
As long as they’re not firing blanks…
