A riddle/joke in honor of "Talk Like a Pirate" day!

What be the name of the group for pirates over 65 who's seafaring days are behind them? (insert obligatory Ocean Spirit Dennis reference...)

65 buccaneers past due?

As for the answers to my riddles. None of them correctly answered 2.

No, 'tis a parody of a rather well known organization in the states for senior citizens.

If it had been retired wizards I'd have said

, but for pirates and OSD?

Think "Talk Like a Pirate" day.
Maybe this rephrasing will make it easier...

After years of plunder, Ocean Spirit Dennis had gathered enough loot to buy a villa in the Bahamas and live out his old age in comfort without ever having to work again so what was the organization that he joined?

#2 is still wrong.

The answer is what people say is never the answer.

I think I know what you're getting at, but I have no idea how the answer would be phrased.

Are you just looking for the acronym?

Yeah, the acronym would be fine. Without the joke/riddle wouldn't make much sense

That be correct! The American Association of Retired Pirates or the A. A. AAARRR! P.

Scarab got it.

1. This wondrous thing, though not an herb,
Can help comfort the weak and the dying.
It can even be used to rally the troops,
Or make one start laughing or crying.

2. This sparkling globe can float on water,
and weighs not more than a feather.
Yet despite it's weight
Ten giants could never pick it up.

3. Ten men's strength,
Ten men's length,
One man can pick it up,
No man can stand it up.
