Treasure Ivan Annotated

In a little seashore pub in Bristow, a ragged gathering of rags are drinking and makeing melly (before sailing to sea in serge of grate treashy on a sudden Isle far across the ocean).
'Belay there me 'earty scabs,' says Large John Saliver entering.
Pegging along towards some old saviours whom have soled the several seas.
'Where be the Parable you normally 'ave on your shoulder, Large John?' Asks Blind Jew looking up.
'Never ye mind' reponds Large John 'And anyways where be your white stick?'
"Ow the 'ell should I know when oi can't see?'
All of a suddy Small Jack Hawkins creep in unobtrugell with a siddy grip on his head.
'Ha ha aa aar Jack lad' says Large John in a typical mariner marino.
Soon they were heady fir the harboar with Cpt Smellit and Squire Trelorgy. That morgan they sailed with a hearty breeze behind.
Large John began to look upon Jack as a son or something, for he was ever putting his arm about him and saying 'Ha Haaaaar', especially with a Parable on his shouldy. One day, however, Small Jack Hawkins was just happening in a barret of abbeys when he overheated Large John and several other saviours planting to botany against the Captain.
'Lung Ho' cry a voice from the pidgeon tow on high, 'Lung Ho and alls well!' Yes and it were true - a little Ivan, Cyril carpet agaist the horivan with palmist trees and cockynuts.
'I wouldn't be surprised if there was not a beardy old man hobbing from rock to rock.' Thought Disreali Hands who'd seen the film, and there was.
The first lungboot ashore contained Large John Saliver Small Jack and some others what were numerous and sweaty to behold. Anyway they landed on the Ivan and an owld loon jumps out calling himself Sten Gunn and he's been living all over the treasure for years because cruel old Captaive Flint has put the Black Pot on him and you know what happens with a black pot.
So after a bit of stockade and that they sail home to Bristow where they're all arrested for development and Jack Hawkins turns round to be a thirty two year old midget and Large John Saliver has to pay for a new woody leg because they run from fireplace on the Ivan. Sten Gunn turns round to be a young man in the prime of minister and Tom the faithful cat returns to Newcastle.
