The Pirate Kings Civil War, ZomB v PK v PK

[Rolando]

That girl from Nantucket, oh how she did brag,
She hit a PK trader and thought it was all in the bag.
Then she was quietly smiling and sat counting plundered gold,
Her crew let out a scream as the boat did explode.
In Tzgos they ran and begged to flee, but those little boats would not be rid of me.
Why I'm one of the PK, there are many of us in the sea.
For each hit you give our traders, we shall give you three.

[Grogggy]

There once was a pirate named Cap,
Who made Rolando look like a sap.
He sprung in for lots of gold,
Quickly hiding it in his hold,
Gave Ol' Rol some fame and took a nap.

Hah, now we are arguing in prose. This, my friends, is the power of totally unexpected, unrelated posts.

[Grogggy]

Actually, the opposite of poetry is prose. You know we are a pirate guild over at ZomB, not a Mensa society:)

[The Pretender]

"Prosaic" is an insult in literary circles. I'm sure that's what he means.

[Fuzzy]

I've heard smarter things from a schizophrenic with Tourette's.

This has got seriously out of control........

Redbone your declaration is duly noted. Your would be allies reputation speak for themselves. Thus the Nation of Spain does not require such long and grandiose declarations, those who ambushed us congratulations you have won a battle, but begun a war. Wars begin when you desire, but they do not end when you wish. I will have poetry/comedy contest later Doom, I have war to deal with. If you want call yourself the winner, whatever makes you happy.

Also King Redbone I accept your stipulation of no Levi's, so long as they are not used on me, I will not use them.

I believe that rolando had refused the battle of wits on the basis that you are unarmed, Iris...
