The Second Wave
Many pennies Trey did save
Since he wanted a good wave
Just to say
You know ‘hey’
At the surf shop he bought a board
Which he could barely afford
Upon leaving the store
A beautiful sight walked through the door
Making Trey go gaga on the show room floor
During this short span of attention it should be mentioned
Trey did not get a wave
And he took it like a man very brave
Sometime later
Being like a waiter
He cleaned that board that he barely could afford
Before attempting to get the legendary score
Looking up he saw that beautiful sight
Head into the ocean armed for a fight
Trey stood up knowing it was time
To get that wave that was on his mind
Taking everything head first
Ready to quench a challenging thirst
For a second he had a distraction
It was that beautiful sight that captured his attraction
Trey missed the wave memorized by the beautiful thing
As it curled up forming a ring
“That is all right I missed that one
The next should come and it will just be as much fun”
Trey watched and peered
Without any fear
Waiting for Poseidon’s fist to appear
Above the saturated sand
Turning Trey into a recreational participant not a fan
As the clutch formed fingers
Trey stood on his board watching the swell get bigger
Writing the agenda in the image that looked like the hand of God
Who turned this aquatic adventure into a lake like ripple lob
As Mother Earth from the surf safely returned Trey to the beach
Showing him the beautiful sight that was in reach
She took a second to give him a wave
Making Trey feel successful without digging a watery grave
