Write the opening to a pirate story without using the words PIRATE, PATCH, ARR,  MATEY, PEGLEG or SHIP.

 

O

ne day, a group of outcasts were sailing the Seven Seas. A man named DogBreath Doge called from starboard, “Aye! Where be our captain?”

T

he crew suddenly looked around for Beratilo Barnicalos there captain.

“There be no captain on board. Who is driving this transport. Who cares who be doing it, no cap’n mean no rule following.”

 

S

uddenly, one of them named Bongo Billy said , “Why not we make a party?!” Bring out old crates! Even though I do know where me captain is!”

 

“He be at Chattersworth Town, drinkin’ a beer with pretty ladies. I wish we’d never left that town!” said DogBreath.  “Well, now that he’s gone, I’m the new captain. And my first rule is: Why there be any rules?! Party time all day! We drink rum out of kegs and steal away treasure from sailors.”

 

THE END.
