We swing into the Port, and moored our vessel swiftly

Very cool! I lol forward to the audio version!

Thank you! I'm still working out the details, and the music itself is somewhat rudimentary, but hopefully, it'll all be in good fun.

I enjoyed this! I feel like I got a POTC fix! AW

Oddly enough, I hadn't even considered POTC when I wrote it, but your comment makes me very happy. So thank you.

A rollicking response to the prompt! You fit so much drinking in here, it's a great toast!

Oddly enough, my favorite beverage is tea. That said, I had a lot of fun deciding what would go best with the chantey. I realize that pirates technically prefer rum, but scotch seemed fitting for this piece. Thank you for your comment.

What insane entity would outlaw fire-roasted meat? MMMmmmeeaat *glaughhh~~~*

A pirate drinking song is a fitting way to salute this prompt!

Blame the Spaniards for that one. Apparently, they put the kibosh on it around 1670.

Thank you for your comment.

Blimey! This is lovely. What an unexpected surprise!

I think this is my favorite passage, but if you gave me but a moment, I'd likely pick another:

"So Barkeep, your attention please?
My heart grows tired of gin n’ fizz.
Please fill our guts with courage?
A flagon of Highland should do it."

I love it. Please do keep us updated on an audio version!

I worked on an audio version, but it kind of failed. Someone recorded me at a party reciting it (I was a little tipsy), and if I get the nerve, I'll upload it and link you to it.
