Intricate traditional patterns please the eye
The sea is all you have ever known
A mark of your standing, a call to fortune
Believed to connect to the gods and offer spiritual protection
Fit for royalty
Snug, if a tad unwieldy
Claimed after a wager, a quarrel, and some knocked-out teeth
Made to lend respectability
Designed for comfort in the hottest weather
Every endeavor must be of heart and soul
