Aargh! Black Bart!

\"Pieces of eight! Pieces of eight!\"

He was quite a character as many of his men were freed slaves who, when he was killed were taken back into slavery.

Great Expectations
Doggerel Dave said:

My abject apologies Mabel – it in no sense was it my intention to suggest by the use of the term ‘merry ‘ that you were inebriated all the time and especially that you had be drunk before entering into congress with your man.

Thanks Merissa.I don\'t know how I missed your post here - although I\'ve noticed that MPS does occasionally miss the notification.
Pleased you liked it - I feel very strongly about this topic. The form was very difficult also. It\'s good to have it appreciated.

No Charlie I am not suggesting you need to ‘do some work on yourself’. That contraption looks particularly hazardous; you should take care that it doesn’t leave you hanging.

Time Just Disappears When Having Fun
Doggerel Dave said:

And Jack the Lad (q.v.) has teamed up with a pair of criminal pranksters (read fraudsters, con men)…. This was his apprentice piece. Apparently they form a good team. However he is now silent. When or if he resurfaces and starts to talk again I’ll let you know….

Love finding the humor here in the everyday annoyances of life; in your case: a boisterous bird!

The Koel Calls
Jerry Reynolds said:

Give him a break, he want\'s to get laid, if silence worked it would quiet as a tomb in Australia.
Good write, Dave.

Neville said:


I swear I heard that Antipodean sound in every Ausie movie I ever found .. but maybe much like you .. I much prefer too wit too woo.....

there are of course many alternatives but for now, I\'ll stick with my alibi ................

Fay Slimm. said:

Wow - did I really refuse to have the koel\'s call in my garden ? - - and now despite your impressive verse on his monotonous trillings tis strange the video you sent has no sound at all on my ancient \'puter. .....really appreciate the dedication however.

The Antipodean Adventures of Jack the Lad.
MendedFences27 said:

Well it kept my interest for a long while and when it ended I said to myself this could be a book. Why not give it a go. A few more writes and you\'ll have a few chapters and then you can decide. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was different, readable, and interesting. The style was its own attraction. Keep this character alive and send him out exploring. - Phil A,

Doggerel Dave said:

Don\'t think so Fred - how would you like to be in that bloke\'s companty for 400 pages!? Glad to get shot of him now.
You have been very brave - I hope you are not damaged irreparably :-)

Very fine jazz singer Dave but I certainly wouldn\'t go near that fire and brimstone within her.

Home Sweet Home
Neville said:


these tales/disclosures of yours are worth their weight ... you should seriously try to do more with them than just pin them to a page here ...

or maybe you do .. or maybe that\'s not your cup of tea ....

Home Sweet Home
FredPeyer said:

I truly enjoyed your poem Dave. And I think his final resting place is a good one. At least you have somebody to talk to instead of sitting there all alone.

Home Sweet Home
Doggerel Dave said:

Thanks Andy. He was a symbol and souvenir of my time at that place which, as in the majority of my life experiences, taught me many things.
He\'s certainly a weird but decorative addition to the mostly functional nature of my WC.
