Cap’n Chrunchy Munky and his first mate Nelson are on their way to embark on the greatest adventure of their lives! They’re gonna visit their muddah for Muddah’s Day.

“Full speed AHEAD for some good old home cookin!” They say.

I was debating whether or not to post this video since the process in coloring the ship and waves took me a lot longer than usual and I was trying to cram it all in to fit the duration of the song (which is Dancing in the Moonlight by Toploader). But I figured I might as well post it up, since it won’t be doing any good just sittin’ in my archives.

Thanks for watchin!

Clearly, it's not just me who loves contests. Close friends of mine love contests as well.



A friend of mine is having a pirate ship built and has plans to run cruises out of Baltimore Harbor. If this isn't already the coolest thing I've ever heard of, she is having a "Name the Pirate Ship" contest. Submit your pirate ship name at their website and not only could you have your brilliant idea painted on the side of an actual 48-foot pirate ship, but you'll win a charter cruise on the pirate ship for you and 47 of your closest friends! So get submitting. If you happen to win, don't forget to reserve a seat on the charter for me!

And since we're on the topic of contests, dont forget about mine!

I DON’T LIKE DO’S AND DON’TS
by
Gregory K.

I really don’t like do’s and don’ts.
I don’t like do-si-dos.
I don’t like driving, don’t like dirt,
Don’t like it when I doze.

I don’t like dump trucks, darts or drips.
I don’t like dreary days.
I don’t like dancing, don’t like doom,
Don’t like to have delays.

I don’t like donuts, dogs, or dots.
Do I like drums? Not me.
Now there’s a whole bunch that I like...
But I just don’t like D.


This is one of a still incomplete collection of "letter poems" I was working on at one point. See if you can guess how many poems were gonna be in the collection. Anyone? Anyone? Very good. All of you who got 26 can stay late and clean off the chalkboard....


(I'm posting an original poem-a-day through April in celebration of National Poetry Month. Links to this and other poems here on GottaBook (and there are lots of others, because poetry is NOT just for April) are collected over on the right of the blog under the headline "The Poems".)
