Poem

We came upon this island round about at dusk
Not a single sign of life just a pile of old nut husks
We thought we’d have a fire if those husks would burn
But going through those coconuts, the trip took quite a turn
For there within a coconut, we found a scribbled note
Someone had once been here and this is what he wrote

“Under the tropical moonlight on this deserted isle
I had a lot of time to think and thinking made me smile
I remember when we got here, just the two of us alone
Nobody else to see us, no radio or phone
We spent the night there on the beach
Just outside the high tide’s reach
But we didn’t anchor down the boat
And sometime that night the boat took float
We survived on what we brought
And on the few old fish we caught
The coconuts were pure delight
We drank and ate them every night
But as the days turned into weeks
Our hunger grew to fever peaks
Then as those weeks turned into months
Our hungry bellies turned to grunts
We knew we needed more to eat
And both of us were craving meat
It came to where it wasn’t wise
To go to sleep and close your eyes
It wasn’t long till her eyes closed
And thus the fate that I then chose
For there beneath the moonlit star
I saw my wife as steak Tartare
And could I take it one more night
Along with coconut delight
And so I wrote this letter here
To tell you that I loved my dear”

We quickly pulled up anchor and got back on our boat
Knowing not just what he meant by the last line of that note
