I wear purple eyeshadow and pink nail varnish- always. I love to laugh and scream for joy, to sing at the top of my voice. I like to play heavy rock loud enough to burst your eardrums. I like crazy parties, whipped cream, and…solitude.

Get out-hic-DEAR, AWFUL HICCUPS! -hic- Jennifer Nussinow

14. Ballad The Mermaid by Author Unknown 'Twas Friday morn when we set sail, And we had not got far from land, When the Captain, he spied a lovely mermaid, With a comb and a glass in her hand. Chorus Oh the ocean waves may roll, And the stormy winds may blow, While we poor sailors go skipping aloft And the land lubbers lay down below, below, below And the land lubbers lay down below. Then up spoke the Captain of our gallant ship, And a jolly old Captain was he; "I have a wife in Salem town, But tonight a widow she will be." (Chorus Repeated) Then up spoke the Cook of our gallant ship, And a greasy old Cook was he; "I care more for my kettles and my pots, Than I do for the roaring of the sea." (Chorus Repeated) Then up spoke the Cabin-boy of our gallant ship, And a dirty little brat was he; "I have friends in Boston town That don't care a ha' penny for me." (Chorus Repeated) Then three times 'round went our gallant ship, And three times 'round went she, And the third time that she went 'round She sank to the bottom of the sea. ●a songlike narrative poem that tells a story ●usually has rhyme, rhythm and refrain
