Miss-taken identity

A MISS disguised as midshipman was made to walk the
PLANK. The narrow plank stuck wobbly out o’er the
LOWLY sea. ‘No bloke am I,’ she cried, ‘but dainty, beauteous CORAL.’ The pirates caught her quickly and took her out to tea.    

Longwood

STAMP of fame already indelibly printed, little

BONEY still sat in his hacienda, pondering what

TRACE of possibility still remained, and could he

CLOVE his way back to glory once more, alas

St. Helena was no Elba, and he was after all, tired

Stuck

LOWLY sponge hasn’t left his
CORAL reef all his life, eating
PLANKton, thinking about one exhilarating night when
AMISSissippi River catfish turned up.
