*Mr. Christopher enters with an axe and busts down the wall dividers and opens the cabin into the disused, and rather empty, heram*
That's better.

Make sure you don't mention the Captain's daughter in that song, Mr. C, I think one of our other crewmates learned not to the hard way...
*takes happily*
Thanks!

We had to change that verse to
"Put him in bed with the First Mate's Daughter."
If that doesn't work, maybe Aunt Matilda will be
willing to share her bunk

Well, see, political correctness makes it so
much harder to write songs these days...
Going further down the chain of command,
the verse COULD be rewritten as
"Put him in bed with the Second Mate's first wife...." etc.
but that sits a wee bit awkwardly on the melody.
(I don't know who the second mate on this ship
would be. Maybe nobody's willing to take that
position?)

"As Quartermaster," said Mr. C, running in to grab a pile of curtains and some twine, "I think we should leave the songs the way they most likely were, and since most of them are two, three, and four hundred years old, I don't see why they should be moderated."
