It’s not very big and I bought it on a whim,

Several garvy flats & a couple of boarders,

We rent out the garvies for local fishing trips,

We have a small bait store, minnows mostly,

Some food stuffs too, nothing too costly.

The locals are rather haughty & ignore me,

But I love my little business, it keeps me free,

Free to be me and drink cheap rum, always I got a buzz,

I live on property, a small apartment over the store,

I am visited by “Blu” on rare occasions when she can spare time,

Or I wander over to her place, the Café Le Blu, to relax,

On those stressful days that the tourists give too much crap.

The property we keep as clean as possible, not much to clean,

We store some boats, nothing bigger than thirty feet,

And with our lift we can put boats into or take them out of water,

At our leisure, no matter the time of day, but we request daytime.

The most use we get is when a storm is brewing,

The tourists all run north towards the mainland,

So we have our little berg to ourselves for the time being,

The storms are thus our refuge; they may hit us hard,

But otherwise they give us the break from the world we need.
