"Drunken sailors" have been removed from the lyrics of a nursery rhyme in a government-funded books project.
But the Bookstart charity says the re-writing of What Shall We Do With the Drunken Sailor? has "absolutely nothing to do with political correctness".
Apparently now we must refer to a "grumpy pirate", and in order to cheer him up we must "do a little jig"
