"All nautical pride we laid aside
and we ran the vessel ashore
on the Gulliby Isles where the Poo-poo smiles
and the rubbily Ub-dugs roar.
And we sat on the edge of a sandy ledge
and we shot at the whistling bee-ee-ee
and the cinnamon bats wore waterproof hats
as they dipped in the shiny sea."

NOW I MUST DRAW A CINNAMON BAT.

I will need to rub the paper with cinnamon.
