Here is my story for message:

On every pirate’s first birthday, since the days of yore
The Uncle Pirate visits him, according to pirate lore

He soars in on his flying ship and greets him with a yar
He writes him this message and puts it in a jar

I cannot wait until the day we sail the oceans blue
You can be the Capitan and I will be your crew

We’ll splish and splash and slosh the seas
And crawl and camp and climb palm trees

I’ll teach you the songs that all pirates should know
You’ll collect the treasure and count it as ye grow

So Happy Birthday Capitan Jack and I must say ahoy
Have lots fun and grow up strong but always stay a boy.

I know it's late. your word is "hole"... well both our word is hole i guess.
