Say thee well your apology, for underneath thy sugared words I sense a Cornish blackguard and scoundrel, an unscrupulous pirate, sent to lure me to the local hostelry at Bodmin Moor.
Aye, sent by some scurvy sea-dog of a Captain, to ply me with hearty morsels, much rum and ale, laced with a Mickey Finn.. . . .and then, I wager, press-ganged by unsavoury louts to accept the King's Shilling, and carried away to yonder sloop bound for the high seas, and ahead of me a life before the the mast and a diet of rotting pork, weevil bread, and hard tack.
Aye, I know thy kind well, for there are many tales of ner'do well's like thee, many tales indeed.
Ah Yes, I know such stories well, for I too was press-ganged when but a young lad of such naivety that barely a razor had touched my soft, fair skin, or barber had touched my blond curly tresses.
Yes, I was man-handled roughly aboard, by pirate vagabonds and miscreant scum of the sea . . .but the Captain was SO nice, and every Sunday afternoon we had pumpkin scones for tea.
Oh, dear, forgive me. . .how I have digressed. . . But your apology is accepted. Thank you.
