. After months spent swashbuckling at sea Sewasham entered his local hostelry The barkeep remarked “You don’t look too clever Are you feeling under the weather?” Sew answered back “You are out of line I’ll have you know I feel just fine!” “Well excuse me! Your pardon I beg But is that not a wooden leg?” “Aye, I lost that in a fight with Balladeer But it cost him both arms & an ear” “And is that not a hook I see Where your left hand used to be?” “ I lost that in a duel with Dr Moose That stupid fool should have called a truce Now he is a guest of Davey Jones Nothin’ left of him ‘ceptin his bones” “ I see you have also lost an eye Would you mind me asking why?” “ I was getting my bearings from the sky When along came a seagull & crapped in my eye” “ Jeez, How unlucky, is that Getting blinded by a bird’s crap?” “ No it was not a case of bad luck It was the first day with my Hook….” . "Ignorance is the Enemy...." |
