K - is for Kellep all slippery and green


Kellep




Not too keen that one. Hauling that killick over the slippery old kellep, like he don't have a klick, be lucky if he don't keel out with exhaustion.

-------
keel out - to faint

keen - intelligent

kellep - kelp, a seaweed, extensively found around the Newfoundland coast (pictured above)

killick - an anchor made of wood ans stone with wooden claws to grip the bottom. The wooden body encloses one or more heavy storms to weigh it down.

klick - common sense
