    Open Sesame

    from “Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves”

    in One Thousand and One Nights

    this phrase will open the caves entrance

    and expose the treasure forty thieves have hidden.

    Hey sweetie, We like the cut of your jib!

    We’ll show you the ropes

    We’ll unfurl you on the spanker,

    When there’s a good blow!

    Engelbert Humperdinck, call your office.

    (this is a terribly inapt analogy but one should never pass up an opportunity to say, “Engelbert Humperdinck”)

    Who’s your daddy?

    Beware is he rich like me?

    Such a beautiful face. Like a dewey rosebud about to bloom. The image of serenity.

    But then… still waters…

    No one knows what it’s like, behind green eyes.

    Go ahead, sister. Unfurl.

    Applaud your inner frog.

    .

    And, at the end, remember the words of the divine Édith:

    Je me fous du passé.

    Like the figurehead on the Bad Ship Pop-’em-up, flagship of the dreaded Pirates of Froglandia (long gone, if in fact they ever really existed), she seems sweet and rosy; but when they unfurl, up goes the Jolly Roger, and Good Men quake in their boots and lose their sea legs!

    Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum! Sixteen frogs on a dead man’s chest! (They nibble, you know, at nose and ears; it is a sight terrible to behold. Many a stout lad has tossed his cookies.)

    —Based on extracts from The Annals of the Lame and Caribbean, edition of 1796, found in the Froglandian National Library, though with some of its pages ripped out….

    Your jib line just needs to be pulled before you can sail.
