Stopping by the ocean on a sunny afternoon...

Poem Artwork

Here I stopped,

In my head did pop,

A desire to be near to my sea,

I raced there with all due haste,

Didn’t even see that hiding cop…

 

I told him I needed my sea,

My life was unhappily failing,

Against sanity I was railing,

Please, officer, let me keep on sailing…

 

He did let me continue,

I kid you not,

And with the same haste,

I did arrive at my usual spot,

But my sea had dried up,

It was all gone, not even left was a cup…

What if we all went down to the sea in ships… and it was gone! You've got the makings of a good horror story and a mystery combined. Why did the cop let you go when you smelled of MJ from head to toe and where did the sea and why did it go?

Ponder that in your pipe and smoke it.
