Do not paint your parrot blue and grey. It is inauthentic, misleading and sticks their feathers together.
Thou must not walk on the water.
Live life with a sense of joy and wander
Thou must not covet another man’s treasure.
Thou must not shoot holes in another man’s boat, dreams or stories
Thou must aaarrrrrhhhhve a good sense of humour
Thou must remember that marriage is made in heaven but so is thunder and lightening
Thou must avoid being marooned at all costs; it is not a good colour for pirates.
Thou must refrain from knocking if the boat is rocking
Turn off that fucking cell phone
All rogering must be of a jolly nature
Ahoyment must be embraced at all times
Thou must feather one’s own Crow’s Nest and not rely on another pirate to do so
If thou think thou is good enough to sail with her, thou must be prepared to sink with her.
