Spooky Yo-Ho/Yo-Ho

The Legend of the Black Pearl finds its genesis not on the Spanish Main, but in Disney studios -- but it's still spooky! The Curse of the Black Pearl seems to be a great place to begin my Halloween blog. This was motivated when I looked out of the elevator window at the hotel where I'm staying and this is what I saw:

The Black Pearl be swingin at anchor, me hearties. 

The figurehead be a skeleton drinking a drought of

rum - toasting the devil, me thinks!

Here be a picture of her aft. 

(I took the photos in the morning in unfavorable light)

So the ghost ship is here -- near me -- at Halloween. And at night when the moon is full, bats can be seen flying from the hold, in search of human blood. In the distance I can hear the song echo from the jungle:

Yo Ho, Yo Ho, a pirate's life for me
We pillage, we plunder we rifle and loot
Drink up me hearties, yo ho
We kidnap and ravage and don't give a hoot
Drink up me hearties, yo ho
Yo Ho, Yo Ho, a pirate's life for me
We extort, we pilfer we filch and sack
Drink up me hearties, yo ho
Maraud and embezzle and even high-jack
Drink up me hearties yo ho
Yo Ho, Yo Ho, a pirate's life for me
We kindle and char inflame and ignite
Drink up me hearties, yo ho
We burn up the city we're really a fright
Drink up me hearties, yo ho
We're rascals, scoundrels villains, and knaves
Drink up me hearties yo ho
We're devils and black sheep - really bad eggs
Drink up me hearties yo ho
Yo Ho, Yo Ho, a pirate's life for me
We're beggars and blighters and ne'er do-well cads
Drink up me hearties, yo ho
Aye, but we're loved by our mommies and dads
Drink up me hearties, yo ho
