the captain

Ahoy, mateys. With this vaguely maritime photo as accompaniment, we walk the poetic plank and plunge right into doggerel.

Ahem.

The captain strode upon the deck,
his face neither calm nor placid.
Someone smeared the toilet seat
with hydrochloric acid!

Classic. The only things missing right now are a patch on your eye, a bottle of rum in your hand, and a parrot on your shoulder.

And since we're on the subject, let's not forget about Talk Like a Pirate Day, celebrated every year on September 19. Aarrrr!
