We serve King William out here


We serve King William out here

during this war to end your knowledge.

Where the fort once stood

there now is a smoking rubbish

heap of men women and children.

I'm Captain Blood and I've ordered

your crew to take to the boats.

Dig? Or shall I spell it out?

It's a piece of cheese -

a fucking piece of cheese,

a blanched face.

Their glances grew in insolence, almost.

IN THE SERVICE OF KING WILLIAM

this ship is now virtually a unit

of the ignorance I could gladly have forgotten.

ACTUALLY, I find you all tiresome, said Captain Blood,

and he looked down with a glow

that said, THIS REIMBURSEMENT WILL TRUSS

me up like no other fowl,

having until now observed all of

the odd particulars.
