He is a Manticorian
By: Poker & Mange with apologies to Gilbert & Sullivan and, thanks to Grabthar’s Hammer for the inspiration.
Tune Gilbert and Sullivan’s ‘He is an Englishman’:

Crewman:
I, humble, poor, and lowly born,
The meanest in the port division
The butt of epauletted scorn
The mark of quarterdeck derision
Have dared to raise my wormy eyes
Above the dust to which you'd mould me,
In manhoods glorious pride to rise,
I am a Manticorian, behold me
All:
He is a Manticorian!
Boatswain:
He is a Manticorian
For he himself has said it
And it's greatly to his credit
That he is a Manticorian!
All:
That he is a Manticorian!
Boatswain:
He could have been Solarian, a Havenite, an Andermani, a Selesian or, perhaps Me-sa-in!
All:
Or perhaps Me-sa-in!
Boatswain:
And despite the temptations to belong to other nations he remains a Manticorian! He remains a Ma-a-a-ti-cor- i- a- n!
All:
And despite the temptations to belong to other nations he remains a Manticorian! He remains a Ma-a-a-ti-cor- i- a- n!
