Takin' me bath

"Shortbeard, me ol' friend," says Pirate Daddy, "Ye be smelling somethin' awful.  When's the last time ye had a bath?"  "Well," says I, "thar be that one time a few months ago when I fell overboard."


"No wonder ye smell like an old shoe," says Pirate Daddy.  "Off to the bath with ye!"



So's I thought to meself.  "Now Pirate Shortbeard, when's the last time ye had a good shave as well?"

Pirate Daddy must'a heard me chatterin', for the next thing you know, he handed me a razor and told me to clean me old chin!


Well, that's what I did, I can tell you.  Shaved off me famous beard.  When Pirate Daddy saw me, he let out  a hearty laugh.  "Ye best watch yeself in the hot sun, Shortbeard me old friend!  Best ye not get yeself burn'd on the chin."  Then he thought for a minute un said, "Er is it Captain No-beard I should be callin' ye now???"


"Har har," says I.  "Just ye wait.  I'm just as mean and fierce with me beard or without!"
