Speed Bump by Dave Coverly for September 25, 2020

Being a pirate is all fun and games, ’til somebody loses a leg,

It hurts like the dickens, your pace never quickens,

Hopping around on a peg,

Ask your sweetheart to marry, but too long you’ve tarried,

‘Cos now you can’t kneel down and beg,

Being a pirate is all fun and games, ’til somebody loses a leg.

Did they have right and left shoes in those days?

Well, the mateys now have their captain pegged.

So that’s the chest he left behind with all the left boots.

He needs to go to The Pirate Exchange. Surely there’s a buccaneer somewhere with a right peg.

I’ve heard of booty calls…but this is ridiculous…

They found the pirate’s booty!

Is that a foot locker?

How did that chest get “left” behind in the first place?

I’m wondering if Dave got the idea for this because last Saturday was Talk Like a Pirate Day.

Ahh, found the booty(ie).

Arr. Let’s boot him out, I say. Mutiny! Arrr!

Booty!

A week too late for Talk Like A Pirate Day, matey! What has 8 legs, 8 arms and 8 eyes? 8 pirates!

Take ‘em to Lafite’s Second Hand store.

The next one will have his spare hooks and eye patches..

ARRRRRGH!

Take your pick, boys, that is your pay for the month. AARRRGH!

Pirate booty!!!!

Loot-boot, who can keep track?

The socks were lost in the dryer.

Any boot that remains behind is a left boot.

This story needs a reboot…

Why did he bury all those boots, in case his left foot grew back?

Pirate booty! ;-)
