Captain Killian Klunk and his crew had been at sea for months.
“Arrr, 23rd times a charm, aye, Polly?”.
His parrot, Sidney, sighed and rolled his eyes. Why did he stay with the daft captain?
“Land ahead, Prepare t’ dock!” Finally, they had begun to port at Silca bay.
They stepped to the docks, a gust of wind stole Klunk’s Captain hat, to Davey Jones’ Locker.
“Arrr!!! Me hat!”
Sidney’s saw his chance.
“I got it captain!” Off he flew, and back he came with a beautifully colored umbrella. “Yer new hat” Sidney smirked.
” I love it!”
Sidney Face-palmed.
Considering that today’s International Talk Like a Pirate Day, this is so appropriate. The vernacular language really makes it work well.

Daft Captain? Why, he is just making the best of it. Any port in a (wind) storm. 🙂 This made me laugh.
