Paper, 30 x 42 cm
This guy is a real shady character, you can see it in his eyes and by
the way he smiles.
My talented friend Stuart McKerihan composed a poem about this seed
bag.
Captain Crook
If you’re after a captain
Who looks more sleazy
You’d be hard pressed
This one’s real greasy
From port to port
He’s known all round
As the meanest moustache
To ever run aground
Once the commodore
Of a mighty fleet
Now he hangs out
Where the fishes sleep
The legend goes
That he was steering his vessel
When first mate Billy
Gave him the cutthroat special
His mutinous crew
Began to rejoice
Till they heard a rumble
A sickening voice
Turns out that zombies
Don’t bleed too much
And Captain Crook
Wasn’t dead as such
The terrified crew
Bailed in quick succession
And Crook was left nursing
His leering expression
Not at all pleased
He set about fishing
His mutinous crew
Ending up in the kitchen
To figure what happened
You don’t need much vision
Just spare a thought for the crew
The next time you go fishin’
See you next time.
