My mother, the Caribbean Sea,
My father, exotic sand,
Amazing that they created me
Out of this tropical land.

Wave after wave caressing the shores,
Giving my father a smile.
Here, my being was put into course-
The soft beach of Seven Mile.

Here, where the soothing sand meets the sea,
The playground of Edward Teach.
This is the place that created me-
A big, fat son of a beach.
This was published in something.... though I can't remember what! Seven Mile refers to Seven Mile Beach, Grand Cayman (one of the best beaches in the world) and Edward Teach, for those of you who don't know, is better known as Blackbeard
