Salem got stung by a jellyfish, and got infected with a song
Written by Salem on Aug 22nd, 2009 and posted in All topics, On the Road, PersonalA word to anyone planning on visiting Sado: Don’t got nightswimming!
During summer months thousands of jellyfish infest Sado’s waters. On our last night in Sado I went for a quick dip in the Ogi Harbor, right near where we were camping, and got tagged on my arm and stomach. It burned for that night just a bit, but now it’s 大丈夫 (all-good)!
To cap it off, the next morning Winston and I came up with a little diddy. Neither Winston nor I believe in copyrights particularly of creative thoughts, so feel free to sing it in the shower, cover it, anything you want–keep the music alive!
“Beaver & Badger went down to the river, drinking some homemade wine,
Beaver got stung by a jellyfish, Badger got stung by nine,
went back home with thoughts of salami, laid down and took a nap on tatami, something something something, good golly Miss Molly,
Jellyfish, oh jellyfish, watcha doin’ swimming in a river anyway?
Jellyfish, oh jellyfish, you might sting me but it only hurts for a day.”
