With?

Sinbad the Sailor ate the meat

Of rocs, and rocs destroyed his fleet.

Tinbad the Tailor killed some flies

Which in the telling grew in size.

Jinbad the Jailer's job had glamour:

He kept the inmates in the slammer.

Whinbad the Whaler was delish

And not unlike Filet-O-Fish.

Ninbad the Nailer -- there he stood

And did the only thing he could.

Finbad the Failer's ship was small,

And thus it failed, and that is all.

Binbad the Bailer helped to bail

The ships that were too big to fail.

Pinbad the Pailer was the bloke

Who had a crown, but then it broke.

Minbad the Mailer was a Jew

And wrote a lot of novels, too.

Hinbad the Hailer traveled far

By riding in a yellow car.

Rinbad the Railer, in a sleeper,

Traveled just as far, and cheaper.

Dinbad the Kailer was the man

Who wrote the script for Peter Pan.

Vinbad the Quailer brought delights

For manna-weary Israelites.

Linbad the Yailer, in the Crypt,

Did something, but his lips are zipped.

Xinbad the Phthailer maketh oft

Our polyvinyl chloride soft.

And last of all comes Darkinbad,

Who is Brightdayler hight,

Who'll go down in the dark abyss

And bring all things to light.

These few are named in verses few:

Name, title, and the thing they do.

May every "ailer" thus be prized

And "in bad" verse immortalized.
