Small Town Affairs

Good-natured towns notice the sultry climate, As the pleasant townspeople smile and nod. A friendly boatman resonates the harbour bells, Alerting the crowd of the fresh caught cod. A young couples laughter fills the sizzling heavens, While discovering their new romance in the sand. As the elderly mates clutch hands on the bench, Listening to the harmony of the neighboring band. The blazing sun pulsates warmth to the bustling beach, While the offspring dabble in the refreshing lake. Off in the distance a young boys kite soars in the breeze, As an infant whimpers shyly when starting to awake. The galling seagulls encircle above freely, Awaiting the rapid plunge to a delicious snack. While a boisterous shopkeeper retails fries, From a nearby refurbished French fry shack.
