Ahoy, me 'earties!!

Brilliant I like it and the pun lol

Har Har me dear 6d!! Doubloons and ducats!!! Visa, Mastercard, American Express?? All will do nicely, thank ye!!

I swear, I'd make yon Terrortoonie take a very long walk off a very short plank!!
But - just to shew ye that I be, in fact, a real gent, I'd dive in and save any fellow "seadoggy" Har Har!

For now, I must bunk down for the night and set the alarm. Am real glad it doesn't go "Tick Tock" or I wouldn't get a blink o' sleep, worrying about crocs (and not the ones some folks wear to garden in these days, either!!! ) 8-vvvvvv

Oh my goodness, It is nearly 2am and I was just about to go to bed and then saw this photo. Perhaps I had better stay up in case I have nightmares :)
Goodnight!

LOL Gee, if I was you I would go to bed, just leave the light on with your marbles lol.

Nite Captain, sweet dream, I'm sure Tinkerbell will protect you from the tick tock crock, but don't forget all adults are pirates. : O )

Ah, Ship ahoy !!!

Pieces of eight, pieces of eight,
crocodiles I really hate,
for when the clock goes tickerty tock
croc snaps his jaws in a vice like lock.
Look out Cook you're meat for his tea,
that mean old croc wants you, wait and see,
Tick tock beat the clock
hidden inside the old giant croc!!!

T

M'lady Linda, I'm runnin' scared!
In me nightmares I see those sharp teeth bared,
and hear a devilish beating sound.
Like the ebbin' o' the flood, or the flowin' o' blood,
'tis a sound and a sight, which makes me 'eart pound!
I "see" yon Croc smile, as he crunches me bones.
Will ne'er meet again meet me ol' mate, Davey Jones
I can "see" ol' Croc smile, as me life "peters" out,
and then I wakes up, gives an alighty SHOUT!!!

Welcome aboard the PS "Captain Kiddin'"
(so long as ye're prepared to stick by me biddin'!).
We love your poems for us - they're so canty!
Will make them, in time, a personal sea shanty

Thank You so much!. Linda!! Have the idea of engraving, and incorporating, your lovely poem into our garden this summer! ) . Managed a "poetic" reply - of sorts! XXX

Bb! - I want a real parrot, not one stuffed or dead. I want a real, talking parrot - and I want it NOW!!!! shades of Verucca Salt in the Charlie & the Choc Factory" garden, here? - LOL!!!) XX to you both

~well shiver me timbers David~ how very poetical?piratical? both!~

I'm still recommending a budgie...

... then you could make your own budgie :o)

Lol David...seems you have found one then on Delonixs pics !!! xx back to you from both !

Daft as a brush!!!

AGOY there, me 'earties! Dear Lady Arlene,
Lady Linda just 'elped me to set forth a scene
Dear Terror, I take no quarter, nor even a third -
Feathers? Budgie? Just send the whole bird!!!
Dear Bb and Jane, I'm not past it,just yet.
I knew I would find me a bird on the "net".
Daft as a brush? Oh well, wot the 'eck!!
Get one in yer 'and, and start scrubbin" the deck!!

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

I'm good at cookin' cleanin' too
I'll even clean yer buckled shoe,
But just remembered yer name's not COOK!!!
A slight typin' error it's CAPTAIN HOOK!!!
Oh well it's the down in the HOLD for me
Down with the rats in a high choppy sea!!!
Weevelled biscuits are for my dinner
Protein enriched for this sinner.
Better take a candled lamp
down to where it's cold and damp.

On this ship I'm 'ead cook, an' bottlewasher, too.
I can't gets the staff, just a right motley crew!
Am mindful of an Article in ye ol' Pirate Code;
'Tis unlawful to have ladies 'n' children onboard.
But be "hook" or be "cook", for I'm a seacaptain bold,
I wouldn't 'ave ye spendin' all yer time in the 'old.
Yer poetry-recitin' 'elps the evenings go by,
an' brings a merry "twinkle" into our eyes.
As ship storyteller, ye would spin a fine tale,
as we dine on rat-a-tat-toui, an' drink scurvy-grass ale!

Thank ye most kindly, again. :-))

LMAO!! Well done both of you!!

While I was down in the cold dark 'old
I found a map covered in mould,
It talks of doubloons buried deep
and precious jewels left in a heap.
Find an island in the sea
find a rock and giant tree.
wait until the break of day
and shadow cast will lead the way.
FInd a cavern dark and deep
dig for treasure you can keep.

~are we thinking of publishing this?~

Nominated for GoYpedia poems :o)

Me,Dear Lady Linda, pray, tell me some more!
I needs more directions, afore we put ashore.
But summat o' warnin' does ring in me ears.
I'm no pirate for nothin', if I don't 'eed me fears!
A "Treasure Island" ye say? Welll, I'm full o' scorn!
But they say, turn second right carry straight on till morn?'
The mention o' shadow does make me guffaw!
Me arch enemy got 'is one - trapped in a drawer! (harrharrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!).

Wi' the mention o' treasure, though, the Mainsail is spliced!
An' the crew''s wholly rigged up wi' !Morgan's" ( well spiced) ! :-))

I'm not for publishing, per se, Arlene! Linda. however??????????????????

The map has a North, South, East and a West,
Marked on the top now which way is best?
Go to the South an Island lies there
Just off the coast of Indiana.
On this old map there's a big crocodile,
drawn in black ink by the inch to one mile.
It says its the guardian of treasure so rich
so just remember this may be a hitch,
But do not delay for this big treasure hoard
may be yearnings for others to take well on board.
Go with the wind in your sails Capitan
Sail like the devil with your trusty band.

Indiana, ye say? I feel chilled to me crossbones.
Another treasure-'unter, who 'as left his mark.
Was 'e not a brother of me "chum", Davy Jones?
Didn't 'e put to sea in a leaky ol' ark?

Thank ye kindly, m'Lady, for the map an' the warnin'.
Thinkin' 'appy thoughts now, away I must "fly"
Will be four sheets to the wind be the first light o' mornin'.
An' it won't really matter whether I live, or die.

'Twill be an awf'lly, guffawf'lly big adventure!
In me ship's log, I found this - an' purely be chance!
'Tis from me ol' softies, an' at the risk o' great censure,
I quote ye these words be the Pirates o' Penzance.

"Although we live by strife
We're always sorry to begin it.
For what, we ask, is life
Without a touch of Poetry in it?

Hail, Poetry, Thou heaven-born maid!
Thou gildest e'en the pirate's trade."

Me END!!!

Many Thanks, Linda, have enjoyed this all - a real treasure! :-))
Join me an' me crew later, as we chart our progress via the Captain's Blog, aboard the good ship "Captain Kiddin'". XXX
