The management of this blog wishes to thank Captain Puddy for this portrait of Austin in his Johnny Depp outfit :) The amateurish embellishments are courtesy of me (and picassa)!!!
It's the International "Meow like a pirate day" today (Monday 19th)
So a (very bad) pome has been writ in celebration.
Here goes ....... Ahem!
If Long John Silver were a cat,
He'd lose the parrot and the hat.
All he wants is fresh caught tuna,
Morning, eve and afternooner.
If he had a wooden leg
He'd stand up proud, he would not beg.
Though hungry, he would spurn a carrot;
"I've got" he said "to find that parrot".
The parrot came, there was a fight
The outcome? Not a pretty sight.
Long John Cat, his fur all scruffed,
The parrot laughed, as he weren't stuffed!
There is a moral to this story
But tell the truth, tis rather gory.
Suffice to say that Long John Cat
Is no longer, ... and that's that!
Hahaha. We like your picture and poem. :)
