Captain Blackie - a photo limerick

Captain Blackie was a pirate skip'

Who thought he could sail any ole ship

But I wonder how well he would do

If given out of the blue

This little boat tip!

Captain Blackie had his mind set

On these fine looking net

So that his men could work for the food

And not just thinking about the loot

That they were never going to GET.

Captain Blackie said ahoy

When he saw this little toy

Ah, but it served him well

When law and order came to tell

You're on your way to the slammer ol' boy!

Out there to see Captain Blackie was a Pirate

Who pillage and plunder any man or mate

He was fierce and strong

But not for long

For his fine crew set him up to wed Long Hot Kate

This surely was to be the end

Captain Blackie was now a man sent

Into holy matrimony

By those who should have served him only

But now Long Hot Kate had her ion fist on her decadent!

Clever, Mona! I enjoyed the photos, too, they brought back memories of my visits to Denmark's coast.

Thank you Faith, I had fun writing it, it was sparked from the first picture, which I think looks like a ghost ship.

Mary, Thank you for your kind words. The net, I believe are eel traps. I love that picture myself, it was actually taken with my cell phone.
