It was in the good ship..on cabin 13

The capt was a good chap and always flirtin

But one was a vogon in disguise,

capt was very wise

and said keep on your disguise until I give my leg a sheen.

It needs some work, Mmm well I'm only a .

Someday, a will come along who becomes a poetry supperstar. In the meantime, everybody ahs a shot.

I like the idea of a poetry supperstar - sort of cabaret and words....

Actually Paul, have you seen those boxes of poetic words you can buy, they have magnetic backs and you can stick them on your fridge - a sort of jigsaw version of verse.


For instance in my collection there would be:

spindrift velvet turquoise inky swoosh crunches pounds crescent never pearl thrust alive

What words would you have in the collection? Maybe we could all add some and then pick'n'mix

I didn't spot the "superstar/supperstar" typo. Sorry.

Yes, a supperstar wouod be a fine career goal for pirate and non-pirate alike.

haven't seen those for years

now we only have letterman

We have lettercarriers, too.

of course west of the pond you have David Letterman

note my name. I may be dead but not gone yet.

Bar Stewards?

Thirsty comes after Wednesday.

Frighty comes after Thirsty.
