A Pirate Legend (Day 19)

Sing a song of sixpence

A pocket full of rye

Four and twenty blackbirds

Baked in a pie

As with many others, this little nursery rhyme

does not have such innocent beginnings. In the early 1700's, it actually started as a coded message used by the legendary pirate,  Blackbeard, to recruit new crew members.

It's Fun -Talk Like A Pirate (Day 18)

"Creative ideas flourish best in a shop 

which preserves some spirit of fun. 

Nobody is in business for fun, 

but that does not mean there 

cannot be fun in business."
