Pirates: A Sinker

Sitting in the dark theatre
The Pirates on the screen
Boys right and left and behind me
Kiera Knightly falsely venting spleen

I waited for Johnny Depp to thrill me
Or for Orlando to make my lust bloom
But all that happened was a huge calamari
And pirates dropping from the boom

A strange black wench with inky teeth
Spoke gibberish in a swamp
I hoped against hope old Jack would have her
And treat us all to a lusty romp

But she only gave him a sandy bottle
And told him something about a heart
Before I knew it they were sailing full throttle
Fighting Orkish guys who were half men, half carp

When finally Kiera made out with Johnny
I can't say I was happy with this
Because by then I was so confused and sleepy
And two of my boys needed to take a piss

We don't even know if the Cracken is dead
Nor do we know for sure if Cap'n Jack made it
We don't even know why the thing's called a "Cracken"
But I do know I don't really give a ****

Two thumbs up -- Robert Iger's ass

I'm sad you didn't like the movie. I've seen it twice already - yes in the regular theatres - and I loved it both times!

It is kinda long, though.

Kraken is an old Norse word for sea monster:

My kids want to see the movie tomorrow. I don't have much interest in it, though, and I'll probably just drop them off at the theater and pick them up afterward.

Yikes Susan!!! How crude!! I thought the movie was pretty good, considering it is the 2nd one and you know how that goes!!

I've been reading your blog and catching up on past months, and this one made me laugh. Just what I needed after a long day chasing a 5 year old autistic. Thanks. Enna Id

Thank you for amusing me. :)

I enjoyed the movie, or maybe it was the company (only the second time this year I've gone to see a movie with my husband, usually it's dinner and a bookstore).

I hope you're happier with the next one. (I'm hoping to be happier with the next one, myself!)
