Pirates of the MAGAribbean: a sea shanty about the plan to plunder Venezuela's oil

By Donald A. Smith, PhD, with help from AI tools.

Heave ho, Captain Trump!              Two ships sank beneath the tide,
Fire the guns and watch ’em slump.    “Drug boats!” the pirate king cried.
Heave ho, Captain Trump!              Fishers wailed as the cannon roared,
Plunder be the plan!                  Their catch of the day now blood on board.

Heave ho, Captain Trump!              A third boat found his iron aim,
Fire the guns and watch ’em slump.    More smoke, more death, the very same.
Heave ho, Captain Trump!              He called it victory, bold and neat,
Plunder be the plan!                  While dreaming of oil beneath their fleet.

Heave ho, Captain Trump!              He failed to crown a puppet king,
Fire the guns and watch ’em slump.    Yet still he sharpens sanction’s sting.
Heave ho, Captain Trump!              Venezuela stands its ground,
Plunder be the plan!                  While pirate greed sails round and round.

Heave ho, Captain Trump!
Fire the guns and watch ’em slump.
Heave ho, Captain Trump!
Plunder be the plan!
