Who yachting to India went
With his wife he sailed
But by pirates was jailed
Now he's paying ransom instead of rent.

Sorry for the delay in responding. I was spellbound by your comment. :ddpan:

It doesn't quite scan - not as well as this one anyway:

There was a young man from Kent
Whose tool was exceedingly bent
To save himself trouble
He stuffed it double
And instead of coming he went!

You know, Governments keep insisting they won't pay ransoms.

Why not pay the ransom, rescue the hostages and then go ape shit on those pirate asses.
