I stand for Cod and Gunnery

Trilby · 01-03-2013, 06:44 PM

Cape Cod, when the pilgrims arrived, was so thick with cod that you could practically walk on the water (the Jesus Book of Tricks) and now...? nearly all gone.

Gunnerii-----I just like them. I don't know what they are or if they are even real but I like them. The plural of Gunnery is Gunnerii, btw. Note it.

It's my fault. I ate a bunch of those cod when I was a lad.

No punnery! Only Gunnery, by Cod!

There was a young woman named Plunnery
Who rejoiced in the practice of gunnery.
Till one day unobservant,
She blew up a servant,
And was forced to retire to a nunnery.
