In the city by the ocean,In the city by the sea,
are the ghosts of shipwrecked pirates
from the coast of Barbary.
Dear Diary,
Today, just before sunrise, I captured a mouse! An immense cunning and precision were involved. Dear Diary, you should have seen my moves, more daring than a Barbary pirate. The ransom mine. The praise heaped was justified. In glory did I bask. Never was there a cat more deserving of his swagger. And, swagger I did! My chest puffed out like the billows of a sail. "Hoist the Jolly Roger," I said!
An hour later, Luigi caught two!
No, your eyes do not deceive you. I said LUIGI! A former ne'er-do-well where mice are concerned. Luigi catches two....within minutes!
Dear Diary, I regret to inform you, today, just after dawn, my swagger was reduced to a pitiful sashay. Shiver me timbers....
