Aye, tis the pirate’s life for me
as I love the scent of the sea
I ‘m a mighty fine wench
and my thirst I will quench
chugging all the rum that I see.
We pirates we like to party
with our Cap’n, One Eye Marty
we will drink all night
and dance with delight
we tell jokes with laughs a hearty.
On chandeliers I swing with glee
to land on a happy lad’s knee
tickling my fancy
I may get antsy
and find one more suited to me.
Pillaging’s a talent with me
piling more loot in our booty
lock the castle doors
when I hit your shores
and hide the King’s fine jewelry.
So I put my wings in storage
my bears on their own to forage
I now wear a patch
having new plots to hatch
they'll just eat leftover porridge.

Madam, this makes no sense. Are you a Pixie, a Pirate, or a mother bear? Is this your notion of jollity? I so dislike such Merry Andrew antics! Give me a good Shakespearean tragedy but never humor! I am, after-all, a very serious poet!
-
-
I'm also Cat Woman now. Where have you been? lol Get with the program.
I don't know what jollity is but it sounds uncomfortable and who is Merry Andrew?
Thanks for the visit and for trashing my pirate poem. lol

excellent

Dear Pirate Stix,
Oh I too love the pirate's life,
aye, that's the life for me
to flaunt the Jolly Roger as
I sail the Yemeian Sea.
To live the life that one I loved
aye, that's me dearest wish
to stride once more the deck aboard
the good ship "Jellyfish"
Oh I'd give all my treasure just
to turn the hourglass back
to the pirate ways and the good old days
when we keel-hauled Blackarse Jack.
But all them days is now long gone
and the "Jellyfish" is too
and Blackarse Jack is dead and done
with all his motley crew.
But, if you want to hear the tale
and you've nothing else to do
here is the link to chapter one
which I put here just for you.
http://allpoetry.com/poem/3545780
If I'd got you aboard the "Jellyfish" or the "Argonaut" you'd not be keel-hauled, stripped and flogged before the mast or made to walk the plank. I'd make you comfy in my cabin where I'd give you very special treatment.
Thanks for taking me back to the memories of them good old days.
If you click on "next in list" after reading each chapter, you can read the entire
saga - all four episodes ! Arrr ! 'Tis a shocking tale of horror.
Now I never met One Eye Marty or the bears but I sure love your poem and it's the cat-o'-nine-tails for anyone who doesn't vote for it. Best o' luck me luvly pirate lass. I hope me jewels, stuck in yore booty, aren't uncomfy when yer sit down!!
Applause, love and hugs, XXX Hugh (R.)

Arrgghhh to you our mighty King Hugh. I'd be happy to read your tales of pirate lore and Blackarse Jack hardly sounds like a bore!
Aye, I have the pirate's blood pulsing in my veins. Too bad the fellas don't like a fightin with a wench besides 'em. lol It's been a longstanding problem.
Thanks for puttin me up in the "Jellyfish" cabin and for your consideration 'bout my sitting with a stash of booty.
Wonderful comment. Off to read.
-
-
No time just now but I'll be back ASAP to comment on this tale of piratical horror.
I am trying to catch up on my belated commenting but am running into all sorts pf obstacles and constraints. See you later alligator....
Love and hugs, XXX Hugh. -
-
No worries King Hugh. I saw your message about some tech problems.
Just happy to see you.

Fun to read!
I really enjoyed your imaginative poem and wish you good luck in the voting! Love the background..Is that Johnny Depp I see? Aye? It's the pirate's life for me!!!
Best of Luck in this contest!
♥ Maureen

-
Thanks Maureen.
I was just being silly and looking for an excuse to use the Johnny Depp background on a poem.
-
-
Sounds like the life for me, too. I could use a sip or two, a night of dancing, a day of pirateing and a lad or two
A cute poem, Pix and I wish you best of luck in the contest

Thanks Susan. lol I may have gotten a little carried away with me pirate persona but just ran with it.
Will stop by your page next chance I get.

Was there a poem here? I've just been staring at the photo. Hugh will like this poem.
She only has one eyes, she's damaged goods.
Well you're getting right into this pirate thing aren't you. I'd dress a frozen chicken up as a parrot. No reason, I just like dressing up frozen meat.
It's a fun poem and I predict now that you'll win.
-
-
The eyepatch is only for effect. I have several...all for different ocassions. I like the one with sequins the best.
I probably have a picture of a frozen chicken dressed as a pirate in my photobucket.
"I just like dressing up frozen meat"
You're odd...
-
-
What? Because I like to put a dress on a ham that makes me odd? I suppose you don't dress up a mackerel like Johnny Depp now and then!
-
-
No, I don't. I don't go down that road.
-
-
You live on that road!!!!!
MC told me!!!!! -
-
No...you are the only resident on that road.
Byyeeeeeee.... -
-
Bye, bring me back a slim jim

All that sea air,
the sand 'tween her toes
and the pixie does dare
to create wild scenarios!!
Yo, ho, ho!!
Clever, clever, clever!
The pix at her riotous best!!!
Aes

-
Thanks Aes. lol
I couldn't keep my true identity hidden any longer. *hiccup* -
-
I heard that!
Your wings are blushing! -
-
Aarrgghh...pirate's don't blush. The wings kept getting in my way...much easier just holding a knoife.
Too bad the other prompt wasn't "fallen pixies". lol It could have been a twofer. If I threw in a verse about autumn, I could have had tick tack toe.
-
-
Put that pixie in a new costume
and she has no control--just keeps on rollin'--------!!!!!!!!! -
-
I have to pay the college tuition somehow. LOL
-
-
Shield those daughters' eyes.
From goats to pirates---
well, if it pays well... -
-
It's quite a lucrative profession.
-
-
-
Aye, tis more fun pirating than pixieing!
