Pirate Priorities

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.

Wendy Watson Date: 4/15/2019 8:25:00 AM 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!
