Meow me hearties! - or where's Johnny Depp when you need him?

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!
