They Say Not a Good Beach Day
On the TV
Talent getting paid a salary fee
In control of distributing information
Monitoring backstage scripted decisions
Dude was inland
Miles from the ocean sand
Reading a line not as a joke
Instead a journalistic quote
“Rough Seas”
Translates to “Surfer Cheese”
Through the darken sight
Waves chop interpreted by some as 'all right!'
Quiet on the beach
Only flying birds are in reach
Peaceful sounds
Crash down
While salty air
Seasons the shore with a crispy flair
Energizing the setting saying ‘I care’
Then settling in for a challenging natural stare
Standing there board at their side
Looking into the water’s curly eyes
It is a gamble one must take
Enticed by the gigantic wake
It is now time the dice should be thrown
Feeling warm after a gust is blown
Wearing armor wet and tight
Having more courage than a knight
Ready to swim head first into a fight
As a ripple starts a climb
A surfer who has time
Chooses the exact moment to unwind
Sliding to catch the pitch
Knowing how and when to bail out with a ditch
Balancing on the wooden device
Wondering if God’s creation is going to be nice
Picturesque picture soon is captured
At any second it could be a disaster
In the end
Calm waters do descend
And that is when
The surfer finishes the glide
With a kind gesture, ‘good bye’
Only to return back to the tide
Needing another good ride
Surf was up on this day
Despite the skies being grey
Sun worshippers stayed at home
While surfer diplomacy made peace all alone
Loosening an angry heavenly grip
After listening to humans on a simple long dog ship
Returning to a placid look
Making friends luring the anglers’ bait and hook
