A mighty drought hath gripped this land, drainin' the rivers and reservoirs dry as a bone, like a sailor after a fortnight at sea without a drop o' grog!

Can ye imagine the darkness settlin' over the towns like a cursed fog? It be enough to make a pirate's heart sink lower than the bottom o' Davy Jones' locker!

Yarr, if this be true, we’d best be hoardin' our rum and battin' down the hatches!
