Pirate Day...Arrrrrrrrr!

Sorry I have been MIA all week. I have no idea why...I guess I was busy, though really no busier then usual. I think we are settled into our routine now and it has become, shall we say, routine.

Today was the pirate-themed day, I mentioned about in my last blog, at the learning co-op we go to every Thursday. The kids and I dressed up like pirates and they had various pirate activities set up. We even learned a couple pirate songs, one of which I am posting below for fun:

A Children's Pirate Shanty

By Mark "Cap'n Slappy" Summers (can be sung to the tune of Monty Python's "I'm a Lumberjack and I'm OK" - or make up your own!) International Talk Like a Pirate Day

Chorus
I'm a pirate! That I be!

I sail me ship upon the sea!

I stay up late - till half past three!

And that's a peg below me knee!

Yo Ho, my friends I have a tale

Of treasure, plunder, sea and sail

My story's bigger than a whale

It gets so deep, ye'll have to bail.

Chorus

I'm a pirate! That I be!

I sail me ship upon the sea!

I stay up late - till half past three!

And that's a peg below me knee!

I like to fish, I like to fight

I like to stay up half the night

When I say "starboard" ye go right!

Me ma, she says, "Ye look a fright!"

Chorus

I'm a pirate! That I be!

I sail me ship upon the sea!

I stay up late - till half past three!

And that's a peg below me knee!

I've got no hand but that's me hook!

I pillage stuff but I'm no crook.

Me booty's in this chest I took.

They'll write about me in a book!

Chorus

I'm a pirate! That I be!

I sail me ship upon the sea!

I stay up late - till half past three!

And that's a peg below me knee!

And that's all there is to this song.

I hope it hasn't been too long.

A pirate's life might just be wrong
So grow up nice and big and strong!

Chorus

I'm a pirate! That I be!

I sail me ship upon the sea!

I stay up late - till half past three!

And that's a peg below me knee!
