DJ Doubloon adjusts his pirate headphones on the deck of the ship while the wind rattles the sails.
โAhoy there, Captain,โ says DJ Doubloon. โToday we be talking about the greatest treasure that grows on every lawn in the seven seas โ the mighty dandelion!โ
Across from him, the legendary pirate captain โ Jack Sparrow โ squints suspiciously at the yellow flower in his hand.
โSavvy?โ Jack mutters. โYouโre telling me this little weed be treasure?โ
DJ Doubloon nods enthusiastically.
โAye! Not just treasure โ medicine that grows everywhere for free.โ
Jack twirls the flower.
โGo on then, mate. Convince olโ Jack.โ
DJ Doubloon points to the plant.
โFirst off โ every part of the dandelion is useful.โ

Jack Sparrow raises an eyebrow.
โSo yeโre telling me the finest medicine in the Caribbeanโฆ grows between cobblestones and on the side of the road?โ
โAye captain,โ says DJ Doubloon. โNo pharmacy needed. Just a patch of sun and a little rain.โ
Jack grins.
โRemarkable. The world be full of men searching for treasure chestsโฆ while stepping over fields of gold.โ
He tucks the flower behind his ear.
โWell then, DJ Doubloon โ perhaps we should start a new pirate drink.โ
DJ Doubloon leans toward the microphone.
โTonightโs pirate party special, mates:
Dandelion teaโฆ with a splash of rum.โ
Jack lifts a mug.
โNow thatโฆ is a remedy I can believe in.โ
