Summary: The Commodore was not amused that That Pirate was getting all the Christmas carols. So here's one for you, James! To the tune of "Santa Claus is Coming to Town".

* * * * *

Norrington is Coming to Town!

You better watch out.
You better not loot.
You better not poach or pilfer or shoot.
Norrington is coming to town.

He's making a list, checking it twice,
Gonna find out who wallows in vice.
Norrington is coming to town.

He sees you when you're plundering.
He’s following in your wake.
He knows if you've been bad or worse,
So run fast for goodness sake!

With shrilling tin fifes and drilling snare drums,
Trampling of boots and thunder of guns,
Norrington is coming to town.

He’ll halt your depredations,
Wrest back what you would take.
He’s built a sturdy gallows,
So be good for prudence sake.

You better watch out.
You better be sly.
All pirates he’ll rout, I'm telling you why.
Norrington is coming to town!

Just got in from dinner out and the Andre Rieu concert for a friend's birthday to find this. Good thing I have decent walls and a lot of concrete otherwise the cackling would wake the neighbours. My hat is off to you as the undisputed Queen of Christmas Doggerel (apologies to Pen). All I can say is thank goodness the Rockies are decently high mountains and keep whatever is infecting Albertans out of my province.

Like the picture of Norrington making out his list of "naughty or vice' and the line "He sees you when you're plundering" - clever James with those pretty green eyes and you for doing this gem.

Yay for soundproofing and cackling. Pen and I do seem to be sitting in the same rather murky spring on Mt. Parnassus. The prevailing winds are also sending this towards Saskatchewan. Do we know anyone in Saskatchewan? Perhaps they should be warned.

All Pirates Beware the Commodore's Green Eyes! *Smirk* (Uh oh--Jaberwocky parody bunny just ran by--I think this Alberta air is fatal to literature).

Thanks for dropping by. I blame all this on the fact that it is exam week coming up and I have ten thousand papers to grade.

Yes, we Do know someone in Saskatchewan. That would be Jaekayelle.

Please, no Jaberwocky parody bunnies. Bad bunny. Really bad bunny.

10,000 papers to grade? - ah, that makes sense now. The parodies are the warm-ups for getting through all those papers.

Wonder how one would corrupt something like "Twas brillig and the slithy toves...?"

or, maybe, how's about "Alas, poor Hector. I knew him well...?" (he,he,he)

Well if Jaekayelle starts degenerating in taste, we'll know it's contagious.

Please, no Jaberwocky parody bunnies. Bad bunny. Really bad bunny.

Too late. "if it be not now, yet it will come"

Wonder how one would corrupt something like "Twas brillig and the slithy toves...?"

Just you wait! (Is that a "My Fair Lady" parody bunny I see on the horizon? "Why can't a pirate be more like Me?") Fear my Zombie Parody Muse!

And Shakespeare! Can I parody Shakespeare? I'd probaby lose my job!
