Short Walk The Plank Poems

it's good when playing
pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey.
just don't walk the plank,
operate a vehicle,
or sign legal paperwork....

Penn's Aunts, patch-eyed women
Cutlass carried, pistol too
You mess with Sean,
They mess with you
Give his movie a bad review,
You'll walk the plank,
That's what they'll do....

Was Saved Before I Sank


Someone said I am just an old crank,
When they made me walk the plank;
For God did care;
Caught in mid air,
And he had saved me before I sank.

His mates made old Barney walk the plank
They had, for a long time, told him he stank
For bathe he would not
Or pee in the pot
But it was his feet that were just too rank

Do Remember When We Drank and Drank

Do remember when we drank and drank,
Until the Captain  who was an old crank,
With his hussy,
Who was fussy;
Had decided to make me walk the plank.

Captain Tabby Longtail stands
Like Ahab at the helm,
His Jolly Roger flying high
Above his salty realm.
He’ll keelhaul your scurvy carcass
If you give him any bull,
And he’ll make you walk the plank, mate,
If his food dish isn’t full.

There once was a pirate named Tad.
At looting he was pretty bad.
When his rowboat he sank,
they said, “Tad, walk the plank..
We’ve no use for the likes of ye, lad!”

Sometimes, that's what Life
is like, A shark's tank
With Our minds, out of fear,
going blank
From thoughts of being carried
to the bank
While in its jaws, after having to
walk the plank
On the account of FATE, moreso,
than rank
Where We, to the level of rock-
bottom, have sank...

When they caught, as a tot, Master Hook
misbehaving, t'was care that was took

He did not walk the plank
and was saved from a spank

after they gave his hardware a look!

Pirate Petey provided a pleasurable pirate fantasy for his persnickety crew
They got to make the inhabitants walk the plank, and they ran some through
sword battles and torturous techniques are were finished by a quarter ‘til two.
So they took a long luxurious nap in the Cove named aptly Pretty Boo Boo....

Scrub floors or walk the plank
Cook continuously
Emotions flighty felt
Swim vigorously in sea

What bad could happen next
On sea floating within inch
Of boat with slow gait
What an experience

Next time I'll just say,
"Yes, dear" for it  will be
Much safer than the plank
And sharks in open sea....

When i walk the plank I stare at the sharks But allow me to be frank When i look up all is dark My hands tied to my back And a duck tape wrapped on my mouth With my eyes full of doubt And my mind blanc like monte I smile in my heart As I hit the water  I plunge to my death. But with my faith I wake in HIS bosom...

There was a Rubenesque gypsy from France,
Who made love to all the pirates of Penzance!
Alas~condemned to walk the plank.
Till she flashed her voluptuous, sun-tanned flank!
Captain so pleased~no plank,just asked,
His "Sea Biscuit" to dance!

Monkey See~

There once was a monkey named Frank
Who loved to walk the plank
He said too many jokes
Pulled too many hoaxe-s 
Ha! Ha! Ha! Then he got a good spank

*

Who's that monkey in front of me
I dare to hang with you on a tree
Oh! What I do? Will you do?
Together we are like glue
Is that my flea or your flea?

History, treasure troves, tales about gold
If I were a pirate a 100 years ago
The pilot of a ship
I would make my enemies walk the plank!
In the water they would take a dip!

Once in a while, my crew and I,
Will have a party
In which we will dance 

I will also own a talking parrot
Who tells stories,
From his time in France!...

humpty dumpty has a book that does not go away
We tried to peek, but he was not ready to play.
He told us to leave, for he was on deck a ship
Battling a storm, the cutter was ready to flip!

Call me captain, old Humpty said.
His cheeks were pink, his nose was red.
Or walk the plank he added in a weird way.
We tiptoed past him on this reading Tuesday....

captain Breckenridge, listen to what I said
the crew is hungry because they are not getting fed
our rations are low and if you give it time, 
we shall have a mutiny on our hands
just give me the order and say it with me,
captain Breckenridge
someone shall walk the plank and
the hungry sharks are wolves tonight,
aye, and the sharks are waiting overboard, 
to be fed...

Woman Pirate hit a tiny snag
Wildebeest boyfriend was a drag.
He made her walk the plank.
Ship was caught in a current’s crag.
So she picked up a dirty rag.
Gave him a little spank.

Wildebeest snapped at her full force.
roaring with his great mouth of course.
she was smart and stepped aside.
I frankly cannot tell my source
But she came out on top of course.
Beast long gone, in ocean wide....

Lest we forget

When the Shelling 
And the Din of gunfire
Finally stopped 

His mind was shot
A hollow broken shell
Stood

Crooked in the corner of some foreign land
Every boy and man befell unto
Inspite of class or rank 
Come 1,
Come all 
To walk the plank

Into no mans land
Gods hands

As the marching band grew silenced 
Drowned out by the violence 

Of brethren slain,
Into the Dunes of Alamein...

Yo ho ho and a bottle of wine;
Your heart will be mine.
You will make me walk the plank;
Because on your love I can bank.

Me heartie, I be coming for you.
Brave a cutlass battle, through and through.
Secret isles we will go a-sailing.
Give me another kiss, never failing.

Land ahoy, here I am looking for your treasure.
A map of your heart is my only pleasure.
I will find ye, that will be my lot;
Because X marks the spot....

The ship in the bottle grew pirates and more.
I noticed it one day on my way home from the store.
With pointed lances, they made each other walk the plank.
I could barely wait to tell my best friend name of Hank.

He ran right over to see what I saw on a daily basis now.
I see none of them, he stated, watching the brow.
Are you serious? I yelped as one stuck me in the eye.
With a lance that he had hand carved. What a mean guy!...

A mutiny on the ship in the sixth of the seven seas
Caused by the notorious parrot Mr. Jimmy Jeaves
He is the worst captain we’ve ever had said the cook.
He is the meanest of the mean, he threw away the book.

Captain Pirate heard the cook and made him walk the plank.
The rest of them watched in horror, as lost his life and rank.
A mutiny on the ship caused the rest of them to cringe.
Worst of all, they had to dine on birdseed, a new binge....

I jump into the ocean 
And climb aboard my ship.
I’m a pirate captain, Matey!
Let me give you a few tips:

1. I’ll make you walk the plank.
2. I’ll make you scrub the deck.
3. I’ll see that you do sails
    before we crash and wreck.
4. A giant octopus 
    and Barbie are our threats.
5. We only have 10 minutes
6. We’re all in with no regrets.

When the ocean’s finally drained,
And the bubbles are all gone,
I dry and wait for next time,
Which seems to be too long....
