AND A BOTTLE OF RUM... SPA's PIRATE CHALLENGE...


 Fifteen men on a dead man's chest 
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum 
Drink and the devil had done for the rest 
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum. 
We wrapped 'em all in a mains'l tight 
With twice ten turns of a hawser's bight 
And we heaved 'em over and out of sight, 
With a Yo-Heave-Ho! and a fare-you-well 
And a sudden plunge in the sullen swell 
Ten fathoms deep on the road to hell, 
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!

Fantastic. And it reminds me of the Johnny Depp pirate movie.
