The missing words are all football teams:
The sun shone _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ the day we set sail for the
_ _ _ _ _ _ in a ship with a _ _ _ _ riddled with holes. As we
sailed down the river which _ _ _ _ _ to the sea we waved to
the fair maid leaning against the _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .
The _ _ _ _ _ was made up of Scots, Irish and others of the
_ _ _ _ _ _ race. The exception was the Cabin Boy named
_ _ _ _ _ , whose job it was to _ _ _ _ _ the boilers. He was
illiterate but won our _ _ _ _ _ _ with his _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ efforts
to improved his _ _ _ _ _ _ _. He was sent to _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ by
the other villains on board. They were a rowdy bunch and after
a drinking session they did in fact _ _ _ _ _ _ _ furniture.
The voyage made my _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . She had not had a
holiday _ _ _ _ _ _ too long. The sea _ _ _ did her
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ lot of good.

dressed in _ _ _ _ _ _ _ green. After a day's journey we caught
dark fish in a _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ and tried unsuccessfully to get milk
from a herd of wild cows; they didn't like having their

At last we came to our destination, the home of Hawaii's
monarch, the _ _ _ _ _ / _ _ / _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ _ . She greeted us
with a friendly _ _ _ _ _ , but she was very upset as her
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ _ _ had been smashed when the
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ fell down. While her _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ was being
built she was forced to live in a sumptious _ _ _ _ _ .
When we found the treasure we put the _ _ _ _ _ the ship,
determined to put it in the _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Building Society when we
