George was a pirate, but he wasn’t a very good pirate.
He got seasick at the drop of a hat.
And George dropped his hat a lot.
Sometimes, he threw up in his hat.
So, when nobody was looking, he’d try to swap his hat for someone else’s.
Pirates took to writing their names in their hats.
Although most didn’t know how to write or read, so they’d put an X in their hat.
George knew how to write and read, so he’d say “Oh, that X stands for George.”
And he’d take their hat.
And throw up in it.
