To Be Thrown Overboard Soon

Two scruffy pirates picked me up. Intending to toss me overboard. I weighed too much; they were struggling. True. They needed to lighten their load. But I was not going easy. I purposefully got heavier. "She is flotsom," the tall fat one said. "Jetsam," the dumb ugly one argued. "Let's get a dictionary," I said. "Let's do this right." This gave me a few more days, as there were no books on this ship.
