Two Captains, One Beard.

Surely the worst of the lot

Papaya the Pirate

And Old Captain Dave

Two of the scurviest, nerviest knaves

A ship made of (insert metaphorical phrase)

Set sail on a sea made of wit

Writing the wind and scribing the storms

Signing the sirens and singing the songs

Of the old battered masters and of those not yet born

With lanterns on bow, brightly lit

Two life-lusty sailors

With talented tongues

Dextrous of finger

And inky of thumb

Sailing together and singing a song

Singing. Not caring a whit.

It's a fun poem. Papaya the pirate and captain Dave should feel flattered by your efforts. Made me smile.

Couple of crazy kids, those two.
Lol they both make me smile often.
Figured I'd attempt to return the favor.

[Dave Brown]

Mr. Brown is duly impressed with effort and result
a chocolate sky and chocolated seas will be your reward for rhymes such as these

[Dripping Chocolate Madness]

Both proud and relieved at your approval.
Thanks much, brother.
You make an excellent pirate.

Aye laddie

Wait until Mr Brown sees this.
You're in big big trouble young man. :)
(It's a fun poem though!) (:

[Dripping Chocolate Madness]

Oh hush.
Consider yourself lucky I didn't write you as
"Drinking her whiskey and flinging her s**t"
It was mighty tempting.
