I hate to quote myself, but...I bounced the question off a couple of friends and here's what I have.
Now the pleasures of the harbor (the boat/woman is now being skippered by another, and the narrator is ashore)
Don't include a lady barber (??)
If it wasn't for Long John Silver (a fictional character who spawned the sterotypical image of a nefarious sailor with a peg-leg and a parrot perched upon his shoulder)
All of us pirates would've been martyrs (the rest of us scoundrels would be commiserated with)
Plausible ?
