Mine:
Captain's Clause
Speak wrong, ye be walkin' the rottin' plank;
Sleep late, me hook might turn into a shank.
Betray me, ye be gettin' a keelhaul;
Mutiny, ye be eatin' cannonball.
Oh sure, it be against all of them laws -
But matey, I've invoked the Captain's Clause.
Just can't stay away from the whole pirate thing, can you?

The Greatest Play in Ult'mate!
Two words: Epic. Fail.
Gotta love early-morning haikus.
Hehe g2, I noticed the pirate thing too! I like your haiku.
ReplyDeleteMarc, that's a great little poem, though I'm never boarding a ship with you.
Conservation of Greatness
Oh Ozymandias, none were as great as you,
But when you died what was that greatness to do?
It has to be conserved and have somewhere to go,
And here it is, in my hand, as I ready my throw.
Ooops, butterfingers....
g2 - Yar, I don't be knowing what ye be on about lass.
ReplyDeleteLove the haiku though :)
Greg - well yer little Bobby still be stuck with Captain Bottoms, so ye best be watchin' yer mouth.
Great poem by the way - that last line took me completely by surprise. Cracked me right up :)
