Scowlin' Jawn

T'were more'n six months now, since the stormy winds o' fortune did blow us away from our home port in Washinton State and washed me carcass up here on the Gulf Coast, in some little backwater the locals calls "Houston". Seein's how me anchor's holdin' fast fer now, I be lookin' fer a berth with a crew what plies these waters. Speak up now. Who'll cast a line to us?
