There was an old pirate named Greg Who found a big hole in his keg With no time remaining And rum quickly draining He plugged it with his wooden leg Now, normally Greg would not balk But this placed a limp in his walk Yet each one of his mates Felt it planned by the fates That both ship and captain ... should rock. ~ 1st Place ~ in the "Pirate Them,ed Limerick" Poetry Contest, Tania Kitchin, Judge & Sponsor.

Hi Greg. Seems we were both on the same wavelength! My last line came to me first and working backwards, Greg and keg were no-brainers! I applaud you for taking on the double challenge, but to be honest, your first verse alone was already a winner for me! Best wishes Wendy
