All me bloomin’ life. Me father was Neptune, me mother a mermaid. I was born on the crest of a wave and rocked in the cradle of the deep. Me eyes is stars, me teeth is spars. Me hair is hemp and seaweed. And when I’s spits, I’s spits tar. I’s tough, I am, I is, I are.
Andrew: What was the large growth that your mother carried around for 9 months? And who was that darling baby standing in the playpen in his yellow jammies?
Grandma,
This isn’t literal. It’s from a nautical ceremony I in which I participated today. Lots of fun! I’ve now been officially accepted by King Neptune as an Emerald Shellback.
Love you,
Andrew
