Gregory Richard Barden Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

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 April 15, 2019 at 8:25 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! Best wishes Wendy Gregory Richard Barden April 19, 2019 at 5:46 AM Great minds, Wendy, haha! Many thanks and blessings, my friend! :-) <3
