This is the bit o' poetry, like, whats Robert Newton himsel' would read aloud fer his buckos afore he made 'em walk the plank, arrr:
If sailor tales to sailor tunes,
Storm and adventure, heat and cold,
If schooners, islands, and maroons,
And buccaneers, and buried gold,
And all the old romance, retold
Exactly in the ancient way,
Can please, as me they pleased of old,
The wiser youngsters of today:
--So be it, and fall on! If not,
If studious youth no longer crave,
His ancient appetites forgot,
Kingston, or Ballantyne the brave,
Or Cooper of the wood and wave:
So be it, also! And may I
And all my pirates share the grave
Where these and their creations lie!

Even though there's no legal rank on a pirate ship, everyone recognizes you're the one in charge. Even through many pirates have a reputation for not being the brightest souls on earth, you defy the sterotypes. You've got taste and education. Arr!

The Life and Times of Jose Gaspar, Pirate Extraordinare . . . he actually lived to be 65 . . . a remarkable age for a pirate . . . and then died the day he intended to retire . . . just moments after divvying up part of his stash with his men . . . unable to resist the lure of yet one more ship . . . which, unfortunately, turned out to be a naval vessel in disguise . . . he leapt overboard into the Gulf with a stout chain wrapped around himself . . . committing suicide rather than submitting to capture by naval forces . . . read more here. The rest of his stash is buried all over the place . . . some of it apparently on an island visible from my windows . . . AAAARG!
