Captain Danbeard has walked into Cowan and has pillaged all the citrus.
\nAs he vigorously stomps with his pegleg clipping on the floor.
\nHe addresses his audience in a loud, aggressive cadence.
\n\u201cPeel, peel, rip, rip,
\nA Cutie in me hand,
\nI\u2019ve stockpiled citrus by the chest,
\nThe finest fruit in all the land.\u201d
\nThe lack of fruit in Cowan is not Centre College’s fault.
\n\u201cPeel, peel, rip, rip,
\nWe pirates once had none
\nNo oranges aboard their ships,
\nNo vitamin C beneath the sun.\u201d
\n To save the inevitable fate of his crew, Captain Danbeard scurries back to his ship.
\n\u201cPeel, peel, rip, rip,
\nFor scurvy steals the strength of teeth,
\nWhen vitamin C runs dry;
\nSo while our Cuties pile up high,
\nour pearly whites stay nigh!\u201d
\nNow, while Cowan rests in despair with Captain Danbeard nowhere near.
\nThe students of Centre College need to be aware of their inevitable fate
\nTo switch places with the pirates.
\nTo develop scurvy just when fate demands it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
