I once met Captain Maggot who’d sailed the ocean wide From the early days in egg cups to his recent sad demise. I met him whilst peeling boulders, for a friend who was helping me out The Captain was sharpening pebbles to distract from his terrible gout. “My God” I cried in disbelief “you’re the size of a family home”! “Well it pays to be chubby” the captain replied “now shut-up and leave me alone”! “But hold on” I said (as I painted my hair) “don’t act as your hearts full of hate” “I meant no abuse in my comment, I’m just desperate to put on some weight”! “Well that’s quite alright” said the Captain “I’ll tell you my method right now” “For breakfast each morn I get up at dawn and devour a pig and a cow”. “Good Lord!” I rejoiced “you’ve opened my eyes, I’ll pay you back somehow I swear” But the whole situation was boring so I carried on painting my hair. |

This appealed to my strange sense of humor, so I could not let it go without comment. I’m still out in left field with this one and trying to figure out whom to throw the ball to, but I have the distinct impression I’m the only one playing the game. Perhaps I should go paint my hair as well. Blue should do. Back to the top you go. |
