I own no aspect of Pirates of the Caribbean. (Flannelette: nobody does it better, makes me feel sad for the rest.)


The Adventures of Flannelette the Pirate Maiden:21


A dog is for life...

At last, fair Flannelette

And Co.

Have reached

Their cliff-top goal;

But peril still awaits them

As the Islanders fight back.

They flee like giant hamsters,

In a giant hamster ball,

And are joined in their retreat

By a be-skewered Captain Jack.


Dog-with-key,

And comrades,

Reach the same

Lush palm-fringed shore.

They spy the Black Pearl waiting,

Like a long-lost pirate mate.

They watch their pirate Captain

Do a brisk four minute mile,

And all attempts at

Dignity and calm disintegrate.


And dog-with-key

Barks bravely

At the angry,

Hungry mob;

He knows he's been abandoned

To his canine destiny.

His former pirate friends have fled

And left him all alone.

(Let's hold a minute's silence

For that noble dog-with-key.)


Now, Will and Jack

At last sit down,

To figure out

The plot.

Will would like Jack's lovely compass;

Jack needs help to find a key.

They sigh and think of Lizzie

In her cold, dank prison cell;

Aware, that if they fail,

How short and damp her life might be


Wise Flannelette

Thinks otherwise;

Her friend just won't

Sit still.

She's bound to make a prison break,

Assisted by her dad.

And at that very moment,

She might be on board a ship;

Disguised quite unconvincingly,

In breeches, as a lad.

to be continued...

Could Flannelette possibly be correct in her predictions?

Is dog-with-key truly doomed?
