Captain Cur ..... (Limerick) Poem by Valerie Dohren

Captain Cur ..... (Limerick)

Rating: 4.8


There was a ship`s Captain called Cur
A pirate so extraordinaire
He was hell-bent
On the Malevolent
To coddle his Pirate Girl`s pair (oops! ... I mean hair)

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Dedicated to our one and only Captain Cur of the Malevolent.
COMMENTS OF THE POEM

HaH! ! ! ! Awesome...I read his tell(no-one) tale 'bout his pirate girl...and your limmerick hits the mark, spot-on, Val! Still can't figure out what was so important in that newspaper the good Captain chose to have on his lap instead of his gal...And bein' I hav' th' utmost respect for the Captain, I will refrain from infering that his priorities may have been a wee bit mis-guided? Perhaps he was checking out the TV listings to see what was on the boob-tube? Wooops...I meant u-tube....really, I did *tongue in cheek* ~FjR~

coddle could be Captain Cur's case, ...but i, Cap'n Bri, prefer cuddle ** coddle: 1. treat in an indulgent or overprotective way. **cuddle synonyms: hug, embrace, clasp, hold tight, hold/fold in one's arms, snuggle ...ESPECIALLY is pair was the word. to MyPoemList. bri :)
