The lads and I thought we might sail up the Scioto
and crash the social event of the season!
Seems the Lady of Willow Manor is giving a Ball!
What ho! A Ball, you say?
Yo ho! There be pirates there!
And lasses with flowers in their hair!
And lasses with flowers in their hair!
I sought to woo this buxom pirate lass
Alack, distracted by her ample...
knowledge of swordplay,
knowledge of swordplay,
I ran aground somewhere near Caesar's Creek.
Where we were set upon by knights!
Happily this one was armed only with a red rose...
After a bit of jousting
Officiated by a viking man from Canada
And featuring a manly clash of, er, long pointy things
We were triumphant!
In a manner of speaking...while they fought among themselves
over who would get to skewer us...
We ran away (under the cover of bagpipes, of course)!
I made some effort to persuade yon fetching brunette
to accompany me to the festivities...
to accompany me to the festivities...
She was unpersuaded
Though I managed to coax her out of her armour!
So I left me merry men to fend for themselves
And, leaving behind my flamboyant French threads,
I donned the garb of a common rogue
and set off on foot...
I donned the garb of a common rogue
and set off on foot...
After a bit of mead for reinforcement
I reckon I shall be going stag to the Willow Manor Ball ;-)

You're only going stag because your wife is too trifling to accompany you :)
But you looked quite fetching in yon pink corset...
Welcome my dear pirate friend! You shiver me timbers!
I love your pirate adventures here. The Scioto River is calling your name.
... I'd be happy to substitute for trifling wifey ...... hopefully she does not have a murderous streak in 'er.
LOVE a man in a Pirate outfit!... I hope you enjoy the food at The Willow Manor Ball... the buffet is 'anything you like' and is promised calorie free!, enjoy! http://www.belleaukitchen.com/2013/10/the-willow-manor-ball.html
Thank you for my morning entertainment!
Last year there was a fellow here waving his sword all over the place, quite frightening - I believe you'd have been a match for that rogue.
You didn't by chance see a pair of red sequined gloves down by the stables did you?
What a grand pirate adventure..very entertaining..
Who just grabbed my booty?
Just hink, you can dance with each one of us...literally footloose and fancy free! Red socks? Love it!
For some reason, the Mel Brooks version of Robin Hood is dancing through my head. Oy veh!
What a grand adventure. And what a fun time it must have been Good for the soul.
So happy you all did too. But quickly to forget me I imagine Matey! I was the one in the Pirate Gown! Great tango it was too, among other things. Ahoy!
Hope you had a good time, forsooth!
