How Long Have You Been In the Navy?

The correct answer is:

All me bloomin life sir

Me mother was a mermaid

Me father was king Neptune

I was born on the crest of a wave

And rocked in the cradle of the deep

Seaweed and barnacles are me clothes

Every tooth in me head is a marlin spike

And the hair on me head is hemp

Every bone in me body is a spar

When I spits I spits tar

I’se hard I is I am I are

 

Just one of the few things we have to memorize for the “Cross the line” ceremony tomorrow. Off to class for now. We have 3 practices today for the Pollywog talent show tonight…6 hours of class or so in between. No spin today, thank goodness.
