Chilling On the Coast

Life is pleasant on the Atlantic coast Fishing is surely what I enjoy most Songs of gulls surrounding me Colorful shells line the sea And of my exploits I feel I must boast The breeze is refreshing as winds pick up I cast out hoping for something to sup Though the tides aren’t moving I am always still grooving Then with a smile I spy a fish close up It’s just a tiny minnow swimming past Oh yes, he’s small, but he might be the last So I reach down with my net He splashes and gets me wet On a summer day I have chilled out fast *Entry for Yasmin’s “Letting Your Hair Down” contest by Carolyn Devonshire.
