The Pirate - Saturday Centus week 18

Week 18 of Saturday Centus this weeks prompt is to use up to 100 words (not including the prompt) using the line It was a dark and stormy night. Here's mine. . .


"It was a dark and stormy night and there be nothin left standing but the barnacles."

"That's enough!"

"What be the matter wench?"

"It was funny for about two minutes, but you've been talking like a pirate now for two hours."

"That be a landlubber talking for sure."

"Please ... you're driving me mad!"

"Ye just don't know how it be to be a pirate."

"No, not surprisingly, I don't ... but I know there's some wood out back and it'll take me just five minutes to knock up a plank!"

OMG, LOL. This was too funny. I bet it would take less than 5 minutes to build that plank. I totally enjoyed this one, ha.

Before I leave a comment, I just want to tell you that the string of letters I'm supposed to verify is utterly insane. adwzqzue. And yes, I'm going to misspell it.

Loved where you took the prompt. Pirate talk is fun and you made it pretty damn funny as well.

This reminds me of the day I decided to speak in a British accent all day but I stopped after 20 minutes because my friends were about to kill me.
