Pirate Misery

Bin' snifflin' 'nent th' hour o' 12 'pon high deck by me scurvy self me soulless hearties, dogs o' scum on lower decks a-flappin' gums Me keg be dry; I've downed me grog me head's a-swirl wit' nowt but fog me ticker's tight; I'm sans me glow tho' stoked up fer me tit-eyed beau Th' horizon's bleak; me warty toad whose slimy self on me has growed wit' bladed quill scribed clerihew 'n gabbered' wit' a tongue askew Be cursed, yer nit off bearded buns o' rottin' dead whale steeped in sun this 'ere pirate yer beseech creep whence yer hail, yer vermin leech NOTE: ALL 'MISTAKES' ARE DELIBERATELY PLACED TO ACCOMMODATE PIRATE SPEAK. For Nathan's contest. I found myself "at sea" when jilted, hence I opted for pirate lingo.

Love your pirate stuff. But, as I'm a sucker for praise, I'll probably read everything you've written. - Red

oh, boy, did you use that thing at Google to do this? I remember when Debs did a pirate contest. I did not even attempt it! Good for you to try such a poem. So you are from Wilma's neck of the woods! You and WIlma are so modern speaking you both seem like americans to me!

So witty, Delysia. You had me laughing out loud! Thanks for sharing this pirate's "misery." With I could feel more compassion for this 'warty toad" sailor. Just sooo funny! Love, Carolyn
