State Port Pilot

Outstanding State Port No reporter could ever be better or sharper Then both Morgan and happy Ed harper Who in eyes of locals which are many Are best of all and better than any. Many points about Harpers will be won After this poem has been over and done Then they will engage the newest rage By having a becoming poetry page. All residents are always our great neighbor Write poem for them have started to labor Hoping Pilot newspaper will be impressed Knowing that mine will always be their best. Poet Laureate one day still prefer to be When my poems they read and start to see Even if outside it may be rainy and wet New standard for Pilot my poems will set. Of course could continue to go on and on Start searching for some star to wish upon Instead of selling myself short will support All of those fine reporters at State Port. Close To Ocean Close to ocean were near and beside Waiting for beginning of a new tide At point where things would be calm again Was a perfect place where we had been. Southport so peaceful stood waiting there For us a quint town beyond all compare And often I have heard so many say Want to live here forever and a day. Trees are truly beyond belief standing tall Not destroyed when building shopping mall They preserve our privacy with their presence In Southport we all love in every essence. Maybe Port Pilot might have a change of heart Poetry page in newspaper again soon start; Have harped on this and will continue to do Until my poetry dream finally does come true.
