The exercise:

Today's four line poem topic: pirates.

Mostly because Kat and I saw a man crossing the street with a parrot on his hand this morning. Or did we see a parrot crossing the street with a man in its claws?

Also because, seriously: why the hell not?

Mine:

Well shiver me timbers!
I be good and limber.
Shall we go to the bar?
The only answer's: Yar!

  2. They still roam the seas, not in our dreams,
    But in this modern day.
    A new breed; the same stalking, ravaging, pillaging.
    Pirates outside of safety's bay.

  3. Rose - thanks much :)

    I have to admit it cracked me up. I was in need of a good dose of sillyness yesterday.

    Cynthia - modern pirates are so very less romantic than the ones in olden days. I suspect that has more to do with the passage of time than anything else.

    Thank you for sharing :)
