Gentleman Pirate

Prompts = Ballast, Believe, Belay

Stereotypical Caribbean pirates were brutal men with parrots on their shoulders. But they weren’t all like that. Benjamin Bonhomie of New Orleans for instance…

‘Belay the Boatswain’s order. I do believe following it would cause the ballast to shift and end up having us meet our maker before our due.

‘It’s been a hard day in the sun for you men. Cook, you’ll turn barkeep tonight and instead of the usual rounds of grog other pirates insist on serving, it’s mint juleps all round. Refreshing and delicious.

‘Someone set up the porch swing. I’d like to enjoy that glorious sunset.’
