Arrrggg! I wish I'd have known this sooner. I would have put up a pirate poem. Or at least a sea poem. I thought it was october for some reason.

YEARGH! I can't. I have to lecture about Hitler, and somehow that wouldn't be right with lots of "mateys" thrown in.

The ever popular Jane Austen in pirate?
"Arrgh! Emma Woodhouse, be handsome, clever, and mighty rich wench, with a right comf'table home and jolly disposition, she be unitin' some o' the best blessin's of existence; and ha' been nigh one an' twenty years in the world w' might little to distress or vex she"
...and so on...

Heh... 
Me love be like a red, red rose
Be newly sprung in June
Me love is like the mel'dy
That be sweetly playin' in tune.
Argh!
Time line might be a bit tight to set it up and have a substantial collection cataloged by the 19th. Plus, to make it realy pirate-ty you'd have to stray from the "just the text, ma'am" policy. But, a Short Works collection where people could record their favorite poems, and excerpts of other works as pirates would be fun...

I just signed up and will record today but...I doubt it will sound too 'piratey'.
