Excerpt from The Ballad of the Leatherneck Corps:

Where are you heading Leatherneck?
I'm off to Tripoli son! It's someplace in
Africa, don't know where,
But an ornery pirate gang is there,
And we're under orders to sweep it bare of
each pirate son-of-a-gun.

So off they went, it was eighteen five,
And they piled in there with a mighty
drive 'Til hardly a pirate was left alive.
And, Jefferson said: "Well done."

Wikipedia is cheaper-and quicker. I used the term read in past tense-I read it. Not telling anyone how to use their time.
