Prince Myshkin’s Eulogy

It’s rare for pirates to have wives

and not for lack of want

its more the work-life balance

at least that’s what we parrot

Lurvin’s fer land lubbin liars, aye

‘ve but time for me rum

Naw, marriage is hum-da-rum

and aye know wives

Aye Captain, aye

At Nassau aye had all the wives aye could want

though we wouldn’t talk, not how we do, Parrot

aye think aye have trouble with intimacy, aye don’t understand the balance

Often Captain will use his parrot, Parrot to balance

his emotional state when out of rum

and when he caught Captain, eye to eyes with his parrot

Roy couldn’t ever but feel sorry for those wives

Captain ye can always tell me anything ye want

Ah Mr. Hepburn ye a good man in me eye

And Roy did always have for emotions a third eye

he saw the world as a fine balance

one where love is anywhere ye want

it to be, and without love, life becomes dold-rum

even when Roy’s first took a harpoon to the gullet, to both his wives

he gave his peg, his leg, and his parrot

He had such love, the Captain’s Parrot

did say Aye Captain, aye

which was parrot for With all his experience with wives

who better to help mutineers find their balance

when they walk the plank three sheets to the wind with rum

in final moments of life for want

Who but Roy to help them find the peace they want

as Mr. Pilgrim aboard  is dumb as a parrot

who knows only verses rum

and Roy met the task with a wet eye

until Nastasya on the plank lost balance

when we found him pinned to the wall, as the first of two wives

Pour out a glass of rum if ye want

He loved his wives and brimmed with colors of a tropical parrot

Goodb-aye Roy, in Davey Jones’ Locker may ye find yer balance
