Author's Welcome: Hello again! Here it is: the third installment of my POTC parody series! This is a sequel to Parody of the Black Pearl and Dead Man's Parody. The running gags still continue, and this is, once again, co-written by my brother. So here's At Parody's End!

Someone Ought to Suspend Beckett's Right to Suspend Rights

In Port Royal, just about everyone is being hanged. Rows and rows of people go to the gallows and face that "short drop and sudden stop" as our ex-friend Norrington put it back when no one hated him too much. A guy is reading from a scroll.

Officer: Since Beckett is cruel, tyrannical, and has a total disregard for human decency, he's decided to hang anyone who even thinks the word "pirate" just because he can. Plus, he's taken away pretty much all your rights. Right to assembly... suspended.

People fall through the trap doors.

Officer: Right to habeus corpus... suspended.

More people are hanged.

Officer: Right to trial by jury... suspended.

Even more people are hanged.

Officer: And finally, the right to have rights... suspended. Wow. You guys are pretty much screwed. But hey, it's not my fault, okay? Don't shoot the messenger. I don't make the rules, I just tell it like it is. If you don't like it, you can go ahead and take it up with Beckett, I need a good laugh.

The officer hides before random enraged citizens can hurt him.

More pirate-sympathizers walk up to the gallows. A young boy is among them, and he is holding a piece of eight. The executioner brings a barrel for the kid to stand on, and the noose is put around the boy's neck. The boy starts to sing.

Cabin Boy: The king and his men stole the queen from her bed...

The boy continues to sing, and is eventually joined by the rest of the people waiting in line to be hanged.

Pirates: Yo ho, haul together, hoist the colours high!

The officers guarding the pirates get just a little freaked-out by this singing, and they look at each other and sorta back away, even though the prisoners are unarmed and the officers have really pointy bayonets at their disposal.

Groves notices the fact that the pirates are singing, since he is standing only ten feet away and can hear it quite clearly. He runs over to Beckett, who is also only about ten feet away, drinking tea, eating scones, and petting his cat Aunt Kyle.

Groves: Lord Beckett, they're singing.

Beckett: Yes, thanks, I can hear just fine.

Groves: I just... thought I'd mention it anyway... Do you want me to do something about it?

Beckett: No, let them sing. It's about time they started.

Groves: What do you mean?

Beckett: Because now... I can take over the world! And Aunt Kyle can have all the scones he wants!

Groves: Uh... Great!

Groves leaves. Aunt Kyle creeps him out.

Cabin Boy: ...never shall we die.

Obviously he means this figuratively, because the executioner pulls the lever.

The piece of eight falls to the ground.
