Shiver me timbers, how could it be?
Missed me day, ’twas out at sea…
Worry ye not fer I came just to blather,
Come over closer or not if ye’d rather…
Nary came back, twas a treacherous gale,
Broke down me mast and ripped through me sail…
Me crew and me thought we’d bested the harm,
When up from the depths came a beast with eight arms…
Grabbed hold o’me deck, took a sailor or two,
Then slipped back away, back into the blue…
Tis not just a yarn, I be tellin it true,
Ye be careful out there, or might be it gets you!
I hope no-one else missed that yesterday was Talk Like A Pirate Day! Anyway, I hope you liked this poem. I still can’t believe the day slipped by me. I had fun with it last year and again just now. Maybe I have an infatuation with yon pirate talk. (Looking forward to next year!)
Thanks to dimitrisvetsikas1969 for the ship image.

I totally forgot, a friend and I used to participate every year when we were at school. Fond memories. Thanks for the flashback. 😁
