Our Ink

You can draw with the yellow ink while I draw with the green one Take your yellow ink and you will sketch the islands of: Grand Bahama, Abaco, Cay Sal Bank Bimini, Berry Islands, Andros, New Providence and Eleuthera against the dark skin of my backbone Now I will take my green ink and will sketch the islands of: Exuma, Cat Island, Long Island, Rum Cay, San Salvador, Conception Island, Acklins, Mayaguana, Crooked Island, Samana Cay, Ragged Island, Little and Great Inagua against the light skin of your backbone Finally we both will take our inks of azurite shades of blue will shade in the bodies of: The Great Bahama Bank The Little Bahama Bank The Tongue of The Ocean Exuma Sound, The Bight of Acklins and the Florida Straits against the flesh and backbones of each other like human canvases together forming a unique little archipelago chain of our very own to embrace the proud Bahamians we are both on the inside
