Naldeth and Parrail both turned away, sickened, but saw more pirates had come to the stockade to chat apparently idly with the captives.

"Do you suppose many turn pirate just for the chance to dress like whoremasters on market day?" The mage watched a bald-headed pirate in an incongruously lace-trimmed shirt advancing on a meek-looking girl.

Today has been Declared Doggeral Day
here is my contribution

As I was coming home last night
I met a poet quite contrite
He had been waiting long in vein
For a fellow poet to arrive by train

And so he told me of his disaster
At a local reading he is their slam master
He had arranged his friend from the coast
To act tonight as their slam host

For their usual hosts wished to compete
And to fill both roles would be seen as a cheat
I waited with him and we talked of his plan
To prepare a team for the national slam

He called the lo-cal to say he was afraid
That the poetry start would be delayed
For even at speeds that he would drive
He could not arrive both on time and alive

The train with the host did finally appear
The two poets then took of in high gear
I never would have guessed from when we first met
How responsible that Sean Conlon would get

For the first five people who reply to me and re-post this challenge, I will send you something.
It might be something I've made just for you, or something cool from my collection, it might be a mix CD or a book, a graphic or something else that I think you might like. Whatever it is, I promise that I will get it to you in 365 days or less or you are encouraged to constantly insult and harass me.

The only thing you need to do in order to participate is to be one of the first five to reply to this, AND post this entry on YOUR livejournal - 'cause it's fun to give people stuff.
