Went yesterday to the shore,

Had a nice time that’s sure,

Never when I visit there a bore,

Worked a little bit, too, at my friends store…

Enjoyed standing in the sea,

The ocean as ever part & parcel of me,

The water & breeze both warm you see,

I felt the urge to jump in, but did not,

Still did enjoy the sun, the sea, the breeze and ever what…

I will return, that much you can be sure,

As you know me, the beach does hold an allure,

The power of the ocean will forever for me endure,

Once does leave the summer throngs, akin to manure…
