In praise of...

Whenever life gets a little tough, or just downright impossible there always find that there's someone willing to listen to you.


This person is the best listener in the world, you can sit for hours and they will just listen, let you get it off your chest.


This person is everyhwhere, and yet someone we barely acknowledge in our modern day lives full of TV, gizmos and the such.


This person is so very wise, caring and decent. I am talking, of course, about Captain Birdseye.


and so, this one is for you Cap'n Birseye:

So farewell then
Captain Birdseye
you nourished us
all with your fish
fingers up
until now you
always looked so old
then youthful and stubbly
faced. why the grumpy
look?
you daft
old seagull

  • Oh, I don't know what they did with him, those corporate Jerks. there you are just sailing around whistling sea-shanties and climbing the rigging when you're press-ganged into hawking land lubbers dreck.

    But for some of us he was so much more, many young boys don't have a father figure, but Captain Birdseye steps in: Teaches them all about good nutrition and scurvy, takes them on adventures and gives them a few good connections in the Merchant Navy for when they grow up. Apart from the girls of course, they go straight into the brig.

  • mm...you heard the rumours tho right? apparently he tried to break America during the mid 90's when Britain was repackaged as 'cool Britannia' and took his act straight to Vegas. Turns out they didnt have an appreciation for his particular 'skills' and he hit the liquor big time; gambled away his pension and ended up in a sleazy joint on the strip singing sea shanties and telling fictitious anecdotes about his time serving in the navy with prince phillip. All rather tawdry and depressing; but he always hoped that one day his ship would come sailing in and he'd get to play the big roles. They say he managed to save enough for a trip to Hollywood and he auditioned for Pirates of the Caribbean. They laughed him out of town =( Bastards.
