And as the babies settle in, the squid sings a familiar lullabye...

" Quo' the haddock to the skate--
Lunnon is a far gate;
Quo' the haddock to the eel--
Crook ye your tail weel.
Dear bocht, dear saul',
Keep a chip o' Drum's faul;
Keep a chip o' Mair time;
Keep a chip o' Ritchie's wine,
A' the nowte o' Youmer tee--
Jollie fykes.
To the rumple, to my tykes,
Kent ye John Young, John Auld?
Sneerabuck, Snarabuck,
Fillgabuck and Lenabo,
Culterkill and Auchmagant,
Little Wartle, Muckle Wartle,
Fite Kirk o' Rayne--
Awa to Fisherfew
To see the boats come in..."

Shhhhhh! The bonny bairns are sleeping! Good night Max and family. Sweet dreams!
