At the sound of the first morn's bell , 1 am, and all is quiet,
from Avery Kiku March's deep belly ocean,
Edita the Ripe, woke her mother-ship's captain and babbled: Blblblblbllblb
which means TIERRA in Prenatal Language.

And with the fury of a young sailor
who has floated for nine long months without knowing earthly stability,
moved as if by winds of a tropical tempest
she pushed forward with a tailwind and full sails.

Literally, before the cock's crow, 5:01 in the morning,
Edita touched land on a 400 year-old floor in the Inn of an Englishman
in the centuries-old town famed by its Royal Regattas, Henley-on-Thames.

Her captain wanted to slow down her pace but
she couldn't stop the determined youngster and
only four hours of labor were necessary to disembark.



Didi

The Indigenous People of the Island (not Margarita Isle, but British Isle)
welcomed her in astonishment and awe of a new Discovery.
The emissary Reni-Limpia-Caca from the far tribe of the Pena-Cucu's
was in charge of cutting the cords of Edita Marie the Ripe,
renamed Didi by the indigenous people who had
difficulty with pronunciation of the given name.

At the time of her arrival, Didi, sang a song that moved everyone's heart.
It sounded like a cry to her captain,
but accounts differ based on the ear of the beholder.
The Highest Chief Matta-Richa, moved by the music to his ears
placed the young one on his chest as he made internetic smoke signs
about the new arrival that reached the farthest confines of the world,
from San Francisco to Venezuela.

In the meantime, Avery Kiku March, the Captainess, who was slightly damaged
from Didi's rough impatient landing of the mothership,
went off for a inagural bath celebrating the safe arrival of the precious cargo
and her well-deserved rest for a job well done.
She also sighed: Tierra!
as she immersed herself in a hot tub.

Next morning, Felix-Baba, the son of Chief Matta-Rika,
was presented with a gift of responsability and new position:
the scepter of older brother,
which implies the duties of caring for Didi for the rest of his days.
He accepted this honor by pointing to the baby
and saying two words: Didi-Didi.
