The Hallowe’en Jack is a real cool cat. And he lives on the top of Manhatten Chase. The elevator’s broke, so he slides down a rope, onto the street below. But he keeps a plank for house guests.
Because I’m nerdy (“although active and attractive”), I wonder where one goes to research historical pirate records. In this case I think they must have crashed a Busby Berkeley set.
Shake, shingle, lap sided plank. Fish scales, mermaid tails, building urge to…. wake-up! It’s just a dream, sisters of perpetual lame, they are sirens just the same.
It’s important to have more than one ridiculously horrible punishment available, and it’s important to have this widely known. (Keelhauling. Marooning. Walking the plank.) Otherwise, who would take you seriously?
Numerous top ruthless pirates, some even captains, were female (but not Ruth). And prisoners, even the cast of a sea-going Busby Berkeley musical, were too valuable for walking the plank—either good for ransom or as fodder for Caribbean slave markets. Either way, profitable alive for the pirates….

Plank pirates rarely indicate historical walks made by anyone especially when the girls were watching.

… Well-behaved women seldom make history…
…‘cuz I’m the bad guy…
…would have been <even worse/better…
…if Billie sang…
.."might seduce your Mom…
…of course, that’s coming from me…
…the lifetime invisible man…
… and the Urban dictionary meaning is quite surprising…
…and if it’s a real thing…
…I either need to get out more…
…or become more invisible …
…hardly made means that they did make someones walk the plank…
…in Froglandia walking the plank means, taking a sobriety test…
…or…
…reading long meaningless comments…

As an aside, lateral thinking works for me. Especially in a no passing zone.

We will end our lives.
Yet to survive.
To walk a plank of wood.
And fathom downward like we should.
To the sea’s bottoms hood.
With plankton and an anchor.
To the death and then our friends at the Heaven door.

Some of those pirates were black, Asian, female every culture and “race” were represented on pirate ships.
