Neptune Day: A Poem by Stacey

King Neptune is angry today

The ocean and skies above are dull and gray

Huge swells, fierce wind and white, frothy foam

Strangely, no one wants to go home

Instead, we follow a long held tradition 

To gain noteworthy, shellback admission

and to prove our worthiness as a seafaring creature

Where head shavings become a distinctive feature.
