George was a pirate, but he wasn’t a very good pirate.

He wanted to fly a Jolly Roger over the ship, but he wasn’t very good at sewing.

The first flag came out all crooked.

“Looks like the Jolly Rickets,” said the captain. “You know, because of the bones.”

“I get it,” grumbled George, and he tried again.

“More like the Jolly Osteroperosis now,” said the captain. “Maybe we can check eBay?”

George kept trying and failing.

Eventually, he ordered a He-Man cartoon Skeleton iron-on patch.

“Have I mentioned recently how much of a disappointment you are?” said the captain.
