A Major Seaport

A Major Seaport She sure was such a sweet local librarian But would always turn into a barbarian; When I did something that I must confess Left my table in library a big mess. Around for a while, I soon started to look Trying to find an Oak Island history book Started to surmise and had contemplated It probably was old and outdated. Am a good writer who finally is fully grown Who decided to write book of my own; After a lot of help and local support Was published thanks to paper called State Port. To learn things have to start out as a reader Of State Port Pilot now a news leader People who subscribed were in hot pursuit Of trivia that has highly become in dispute. What I always wanted to do is wager My retirement and savings that maybe a major Seaport could be built in Southport one day Guess what!!! They would say no way Jose’. James Thomas Horn Retired Veteran Will be reading this at tomorrow's poetry recital in a local library on Oak Island Beach, NC.
