4. Captain Cook lands briefly on a nice beach at Opaahi

 Gentleman James jumped ashore.

He planted the Union Jack.

He brought some beads and a pruning saw

And a bottle of Armagnac.

 Fuck off, fuck off, fuck off! they cried

And threw a spear at his head.

The Ship went home on the following tide

And the Savages went to bed.
