More about your character Cheezel. Good rhyming couplets - amusing read. Twelve good stanzas and look forward to more from you. I like the rhyming invitation - great picture. Regards Dorothy

Cheezel the weasel the scourge of the seas, is a wonderful character, admired by pirates everywhere. This poem is so cute and well written, I'm looking forward to your next

Cheezel the Weasel! My hero! Great beginning to another exciting adventure. I want so much to share these adventures with my grandkids, Steve. Do I have your permission, or must I wait to buy the book? :) Nancy

    Nancy, thanks for the review and sorry the reply took so long.

    Of course you can read this to your grandkids.

    One day I'll work out how to go about getting published and get these in a proper book with pictures and everything!

I love it! Can't wait to see what comes next. Sounds like a good fundraiser idea--walking the plank! LOL

THis stanza is really superb in every way:

So Bartle the Wise, a most wizardly scholar,
Adjusted his waistband and straightened his collar.
Ignoring the seagulls that screeched overhead,
He harrumphed grandiosely, then solemnly read:

    Thanks, Phyllis.

    Not sure how this fundraiser works - do you pay to NOT walk the plank?

    Glad you enjoyed - still thinking up piratical ideas for that convention.

What a gem! Loved it.
Several times I went Aaah! at your rhymes ( love the kind of quivery / special delivery, dramatical / piratical. Pajamas and Bahamas was extra special)
Loved your play on words with the workshop and shipwork.
Great job!
lol

Another fine installment in your series, Steve.
This Pirate's Convention sounds both educational
and fun. I'm particularly impressed with imaginative
rhymes. Excellent.

Peace, Lee

    Thanks, lee

    Any ideas for what these piratical types might get up to at a convention????

    Probably seminars in waylaying, belaying, and avasting. Plus Advanced Parrot Care, and Peg Leg Whittling demonstrations.
    Evening Grog Tastings?

Good use of the aabb rhyme scheme. Good end rhyming. Good description with the words that paint a clear image in my mind. Good alliteration. Good complimentary photo followed by a clear message. Good work.
