I love that sea shanty!

The one Hayden and the others were doing at TTG forums. I'm no good at poetry, but i think we should do one here! The next poster may start.

sailed through trials, cruised through strife

In place of which line?
If it's the first, then yeah, sure.
The second would be fine as well, but I had the second line finish with "life" in order to rhyme with "strife." I was confused as to which line I was meant to be rhyming with.

I had meant the second line, which you had put the question mark beside...I had assumed that you were looking for a better alternative. Seeing as how everything has been rhyming couplets, I imagine it's best to make each two lines rhyme, but then no one said the whole thing had to be in rhyming couplets.

I think we'll just leave it how it is, then.

Also, I'm not really sure why I put that question mark there. I think I meant to have it for two reasons: to question what I was meant to be rhyming with, and also as a joke regarding LeChuck's "life" (since he's dead, and therefore doesn't exactly have a life). I left the question mark open to interpretation. I now realize that I may have caused some confusion.

Said Haggis, the administrator,
As though we were doing something wrong

...but we sort of are, so his words are justified,
now let's continue this fictional seafaring ride...

But unfortunately, the Narwhal was going nowhere fast,
As there was a significant problem with the mast...

About Ozzie Mandrill, the old fox,
Our hero beat him near Melee Island docks!

Edit: Is this a fake-rhyme? Because fox and docks shouldn't rhyme but they do....
