From the bay, Captain brought us a gift for the crew...
A beauty we were certain would bring us despair.
She was small and curvy and sturdy and cute...
With two colour eyes and long thick blood red hair.
She oft led the shanty and cooked the best food...
And cured us of scurvy when none else could do.
Could navigate better than all of the crew...
Even stole weapons from the navy one noon!
Ooooh.... the....
Clever and fearless wild Beroe...
Ambitions bigger than we ever could know.
She did all she could to best life at sea...
And that's how we knew she's as daft as could be!
One day she decided the ship should be hers...
So she ordered the Captain retire.
To him, the thought to fight back never occurs...
So he surrendered to all her desires.
Most men only cared if the job could be done...
And in that, she assured them she could do so with grace.
But some men objected because she's a woman...
And to that, she replied with a harpoon to the face!
Ooooh.... the....
Fair and fruitful Captain Beroe...
Only brutal if stupid let show.
We're richer than ever and healthy as can be...
And that's why we'll follow'er from sea to sea!
Tried my hand as a shanty in a previous course. It was fun.
Thank you for reading. ^_^

I like this. A point very well made with light comedy.
