The "A Pirate I Was Meant To Be" Thread
And why the heck not... pretty straight forward, make sure to include all the crews lines before going on to the next verse, last poster copys and pastes the chorus...
"A pirate I was meant to be, Trim the sails and roam the sea..."
Cmon crew, we have to stop the pox!...

>_< I think it's gotta rhyme with pox...
Never mind. I'm ending that right there!
/thread.
...I am.
Damn, you beat me to it. But come on OP, how could this thread end any other way
With purple, silver, or month.
Obviously Haggis, despite his ancestry, never heard of The Blorenge, a hill in Wales.
Now Haggis surely could have beaten purple with either of two Scottish-root words - "hirple," an archaic term describing walking with a limp, or "curple," a term for the hindquarters of a horse. Silver also can be beaten with "chilver," a female lamb. Month would have probably beaten all of the pirates unless one was a closet mathematician and thus familiar with the pronunciation of (n + 1) as an ordinal number; if n is pronounced "enth," "(n + 1)" is pronounced "en-plus-oneth."
Winslow: Dash it all, Cap'N; Any faster, and we'll end up on the rocks!
W: Fly the Jolly Roger, set the sails
G: Arm the cannons and man the rails
W: We've set our course & have our mission
G: And we've told our wives we've just gone fishing
G: What?
Both: Oh, A pirate I was meant to be!
Both: Trim the sails and roam the sea!
Not very good, but it was the best I could do.
Kevin
Haha, that was awesome! I wondered if anyone else would be a QI fan (or just extremely brainiac-y)
Don't forget "Granth"! Pronounced to rhyme with "month", it's the holy text of Sikhs.
Most songs don't fully rhyme.
Correction, most PROFESSIONAL songs don't fully rhyme. I believe quite some Beatles songs have lines that don't have a full rhyme, only a half-rhyme.
Murray: A sailin´ out to sea.
Winslow: When you hear our gentle singing...
Murray: You'll be sure to turn and flee! Muahahahaha.
Guybrush: Oh, this is just ridiculous.
Guybrush: Come on, men! We've got to get rid of that pox!
Winslow: The sponge will be no use if the winds wont let us dock!
Morgan: We're a troupe of rogue swashbucklers!
Winslow: We can dance and we can sing!
Murray: We torture and we kill!
Winslow: But for Merfolk we don't swing! ... Often
All: A pirate I was meant to be!
All: Trim the sails and roam the sea!
Guybrush: We need to get the sponge to Elaine!
Murray: LeChuck will rue the day, he's never felt such pain!
Morgan: We're fast and we are nimble.
Winslow: We set up secret traps.
Morgan: My blade is sharper than my wit!
Winslow: I like pointing at my map!
All: A pirate I was meant to be!
All: Trim the sails and roam the sea!
Guybrush: All right, crew, let's get to work!
Winslow: Our vocation is a thing we love, a thing we'd never shirk.
Morgan: We'll fight you in the harbor.
Winslow: We'll battle you on land.
Morgan: But if you try to cross our paths
Murray: I'll gnaw the fingers off your hand!.
Morgan: Ooooh! That was a good one!
Guybrush: Ew. No, it wasn't.
Guybrush: Elaine has the pox! We've got to move!
Morgan: The battle will be long, but our courage we will prove!
Winslow: We an odd quartet of sailors!
Murray: We're female, man and bone!
Morgan: We'll introduce you to our blades...
Murray: ...and we will make you die alone! Mwahahahaha!
All: A pirate I was meant to be!
All: Trim the sails and roam the sea!
Guybrush: Stop, we're wasting time!
Winslow: I have to say cap'n, your cooking is sublime.
Guybrush: You claim you're vicious pirates...
Guybrush: ...quick and fast, you cause alarm?
Guybrush: But you sing and dance, not shoot and kill...
Guybrush: ...And you, you have no arms!
Murray: Hey!
All: A pirate I was meant to be!
All: Trim the sails and roam the sea!
Guybrush: I hope I don't drop the sponge into the murky depths.
Winslow: And...!
Morgan: ...um...
Murray: Well...
Winslow: ...err...
Murray: Breasts?
Winslow: No, no...
Morgan: Guess the song's over, then.
Winslow: Guess so.
Morgan: Okay, back to work.
Murray: Wait! I wasn't done singing yet! C'mon guys let's keep going. ... Guys?
I am not a fan of QI. It's not because I'm American and can't really get access to it - it's because that focus is too narrow. I'm a Stephen Fry fan. And Hugh Laurie too, of course. I still so desperately want that teased Bones-House crossover to watch Drs. Gregory House and Gordan Wyatt snipe at each other.
But seriously, I've looked into rhyming words like that. I actually remember a high school teacher assigning students to write a poem using at least one of the four "rhymeless" words. My friend who had this teacher's class begged for help, and while I didn't crack it at the time, I was one of the few who realized not all forms of poetry demand rhymes. As to what words actually are rhymeless, the Wikipedia page is pretty decent if not complete (I think everything I referenced is on there and then some). It even references the fact that rhymes can change from dialect to dialect (specifically, General American vs. Received Pronunciation).
HaHa! Good one!
MUST... GET... THERE... FIRST... Oh, no! I sense a coughing fit! *starts coughing repeatedly* GO ON WITHOUT ME! *collapses to the ground*
"No, it wasn't!"
