Are we perhaps heading off tack?  Not on an even keel?  Or just another

I sea your attempt to change the course of this punning voyage. Rest 
assured I can counter with equally *naughty*-cal puns; in fact, my
composing of those puns is already under weigh. Don't screw with me,
or you can go to hull ^_-

I've sailed the seven seas of yore, and never seen the like,  
The shout arises, 'PUN Ahoy!', as our language shouts 'Yipe!'.
Broadsided on all fronts, these puns can really get my groat,
For they just keep a-doubloon, irrespective of their note.

As many run to consult thesaurus (that fearsome ugly beast),
Some rely on native wit, to add that extra flair.
While others lean to poets, to win their respective heats.
Still more sit and frown, hands running through their hair.

And when the day ends, and all has been and punned,
Some lie awake at night, thinking of another one.
And so we see, as oft hath happened before,
Those shots in the dark, usually without, 'FORE!'.

Some we see, we think, "thats neat!"
And others, are just spam, (need heat?)
And still more just shout, "Oh no!  Not Another One!?!"
We shrug and smile in reply, "We are, therefore, we PUN."

I now leave this game, @set and @match,
to embark upon other pleasures, some upon the thatch.
Parting is such sweet sorrow, /leaving as well,
I prefer "/quit All, Farewell."
