The Pirate Captain

You've heard of grammar Nazis, but this tale's about a pirate.
Whenever he heard bad grammar it would send him very irate. 
When the lookout yelled "Land ahead! We be not too far,"
The captain stomped his wooden peg and angrily responded "ARE!!"

I thought this joke was hilarious so I tried to put it into a rhyme :)
Thanks for your feedback.

I lost it the first time I heard this joke. I think putting it into poem form is very clever, and it was executed quite well. I rarely correct people's grammar, unless it's in writing form and it actually matters if it's grammatically correct. Otherwise, who cares?

Haha, I thought it was hilarious too. I don't often correct grammar, but I can't say it doesn't annoy me. Basic things like 'your' vs 'you're' get me the most. lol. Glad you liked the poem Clifford. :)

Haha. Nice one!

And damn! There sure are some grammar Nazi's on this site. Nothing worse than a nitpicker.

A fun little write. Nicely done.
