His Mistress

The ocean is his mistress
She has gotten under his skin.
He has changed his address
To the Gulf of Mexico. Can you imagine?
He has never wanted anything more
Than to live off shore.
He'll fish all day by radar
And lay out at night underneath the stars.

I really like this, Bette. I have a sonnet on this site somewhere about a sailer whose mistress is the sea. Great topic!
