THE SHANTY OF KLINGON LEE

O’er the dark ‘n briny deep
thy searches for a booty’s keep

sailed an old wooden ship
ne’er mind thee ownership

Bucko’s, hands, ‘n’ a Cap’n
just fer fun or fer a scaren

Fired a gun or two up yonder
“Gangway” ye be asunder!”

“Blimey, mates! Rum be warm”
fair she blows with lesser charm

“Smartly, splice the main brace!”
eating grub with lesser grace

Thus zee shanty of Klingon Lee –
“Aye! Me singeth with some glee”
