Now, flopsy, that was almost Shakespeare. Next time, forget about the rhyme. But I appreciate your 14 lines. Sonnet, eh? Sorry for interrupting. Reply #61. Oct 30 08, 6:59 PM |

Very good - very good indeed. Almost a Shakespearean Sonnet (remember, 10 syllables in each line). Infact, reading over it again - Excellent. :-) Reply #62. Oct 30 08, 7:25 PM |

I guess, Mouldy is Chinmamani and Birds, no Wilton. Reply #63. Oct 30 08, 7:28 PM |

Why thank you, kind sir, ma'am. I have the (sometimes bad) habit of counting a pause in the metre, Mouldy, and forget that my readers don't always pause where I would. Or pronounce English with my BBC tones. But when writing doggerel for pirates, I don't think it matters that much! Reply #64. Oct 30 08, 7:33 PM |

Wilton? The only Wilton I know of was married to Mavis Riley :ie Derek (it's a British thing). My rugs are stinky, weather-beaten and soiled. Reply #65. Oct 30 08, 7:41 PM |

I don't have problems with Your Wonderful Doggerel Flopsy, and if there's a pause in the meter - I just put in another Dollar! ;) Reply #69. Oct 30 08, 7:54 PM |

But what the llamas don't know is that they have a double agent working for them. Reply #72. Oct 30 08, 8:01 PM |

The Duck awoke to spy Queen Mel, Who was just about to cast a spell, Upon the mob of crazy llamas Who tried to change the pirates to farmers. The llamas fell upon the ground Making a very loud thudding sound They fell into a very deep sleep And from them came not a single peep. Reply #75. Oct 31 08, 2:33 AM |

What Mel doesn't know is that the charm of the llamas turned the double into a triple agent. Reply #76. Oct 31 08, 6:04 AM |

Pirates sailing near the Galapagos would stop to gather sea tortoise's for food on journeys to replace fresh meat stocks, nearly devastating the population. If only they thought of sailing to Peru, Avast be plenty o Llama flesh. Funny how the tortoise almost got his. Reply #78. Oct 31 08, 6:53 AM |

The Duck knew Queen Mel wasn't true, From previous adventures with the crew So she woke up her bunny friend, Stew and off the fetch help they flew. Reply #80. Oct 31 08, 7:06 AM |
