After I snapped this shot today of some of my jewellery sparkling in the sun, I was struck by how much it reminded me of seaweed and the sea. Now I am craving a trip to the beach.
I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky, And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by, And the wheel's kick and the wind's song and the white sail's shaking, And a grey mist on the sea's face, and a grey dawn breaking.
And it looks like the contents of a sunken pirate's chest.

I suspect that this is a mermaid's hoard, or perhaps you're really a Silkie?
ReplyDeleteSue - Here's the Spike Milligan version:

I left my shoes and socks there,
I wonder if they're dry?
Oh if only it was actually the contents of a treasure chest...
