Ode To The Captain's Hearts by Kelida and Mbo (From this thread)

We loved you for your heart of gold 
We liked the other ones, too, if truth be told. 
We'll miss your laughter and your smile, 
We'll miss the way you went the extra mile. 

We loved your sweet heart, it tasted nice, 
Especially now, steamed and served over rice. 
We'll miss you now that you're dead and gone, 
But we thought it might be nice to write you this song. 

We even loved your heart of stone 
Although its weight sometimes made you groan 
We'll miss your insults, all good-natured fun, 
And we'll never forget you talent for puns. 

We sometimes loved your cheatin' heart 
Except when you beat us at cards 
We'll miss the way you stacked the deck, 
And we'll miss the way you cracked your neck.

We loved to see your heart or hearts 
With all it's icky slimy parts 
Ventricles and coronaries 
The color blood of boysenberries.
