How long have you been a sailor?!
All my bloomin’ life. 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 marlinspike, the hair on me head is hemp, every bone in me body’s a spar, and when I spits, I spits tar. I’se hard, I is, I am, I are.
