Captain Newbeard

Ira Newberg. Privateer. Marauder. Misremembered by history.

"It's Newberg! NewBERG!
BERG!!!" He cried.
But name him rightly, they'd couldn't do.
No matter how they tried.
"Nudebeard?" "Nukebeard?" They'd attempt.
As though it couldn't be:
A pirate without a beardy name?
That must be fantasy.

It's no damn wonder to me that you & Dave Brown are discussing this poem like you both inhabit a similar galactic magnetism towards orbital expression. I have no freakin' idea what this poem is about & reading the back-and-forth between you two just plunges me further into the abyss. I love Dave for his outlandish imagination & this is the first time I saw the parallel between the 2 of you! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Lololol
The man's a hero of the modern age. No joke, no smoke.
The world would be a far better place with more guys like him. I can guarantee that.
And women like yourself, come to think of it.
Thanks for reading! It truly is no more than silliness. As is much of my writing. I like to smile and spread it.

Blackbeard had no such difficulty. When they saw his flag, his victims knew the game was up and surrendered. Except for Lt. Maynard, who ended a great career.

I've gotta compile them into a "book" here, to keep track soon.

It seems that becoming a Pirate has at least some initial difficulties.
Could he dye it seven colors, put it into seven braids, and become Capt. Coolbeard?
OK sorry, sorry!!
Just thinkin
