I'm Hookjaw, heap big howwoah, wuthwu wing the wavesh awound,
Shcourgin' the Shafywic Shea till the musk wuns outta sound.
My twuthy cwue goes "Yaaarr!" but mine come out a "Yawp,"
Yet we shtiww pinch pwetty twinkwesh fwom dwead men's twash and swop.
I chawmed a chowd of mawmwadesh with my bwushin' shawk-fin gwin,
They thaid my wipsh wush wike kelp, I thang 'ema hen dove in.
We twacked a Targy twade ship, wanshackwed it with gwee,
They thaw the wisp waffled wight 'til my hook winked, then thwee.
Sho if yew hear a thwilling whisht and a cwash of cwooked jaw,
Thath me, thwallowin' thilverwinea and thpinning linth onceh mowe!
Penned by my hand on the 25th of Phaestian, in the year 981 AF.
