Winter beach
09/08/2018
Cool breeze, Leafless trees, Arctic freeze
White cap waves, crumple and cave
Solemn solitary Seagull, pestering peckish people
Sandy seaweed soaked, covers beach cloaked
Frozen fisherman, fearlessly on rock stand
Baby carriages creaking, silent sleep waking
Boxer dog proud, breaks silence loud
Terrifying tike terrorises on her bike
Vast vista view, living large a few
Clear sky cloud free, wind swept jet stream
Smelling salts from sea, rejuvenation for me

Oh my goodness
What have we here
The house work to do
I would rather not dare
Kids to feed plus the cat
If this is a humans life
You can keep that.
I am a boxer dog
With a lamed back leg
Called Cassidy cos I limp
Do more than that by the end
Let's sit for a cuppa
Damn there's the phone
Blasted sales people,
leave us alone.
Right let's go shopping
Shopping bag or will have to buy
Card in purse, kiss money goodbye
Aisles are so busy, this is a chore
Will be glad to get home to put feet up
All 4
Meal to cook dishes to clear
Get kids ready for bed
Is the end nearly here
Think of my past life
I now appreciate no stress
Just curl up and sleep
They say it's a dogs life
Think this life... I will keep.

Have an old boxer dog named Tilly
Whose loud snores are driving me silly
Tried those nasal strips
But they wouldn’t stick
The look she gave me was quite chilly

It’s a beautiful night
The moon carpets the water
The trade Winds blowing
Me out much further
The sea is all I know
My friend for years
I go a shore sometime
Just to pick up some gears
I had a nice house
And a green eyes girl
But she wanted to travel
And left to see the world
Came home from the sea
My bed was cold
The pots on the stove
Was bout five days old?
She leaves a note
Says the sea is my life
Can’t compete with it
If she were my wife
She took precious Tilly
Our boxer dog
So I sat drinking
On a old tree log
Sell the house
For a good price
Head out to sea
Never think twice
It’s been years now
Me and the sea are one
Swore I saw mermaid once
Wave to me and was gone
Yeah sometimes I think of her
And how it use to be
My heart belongs to her
But I live in the sea
The blue water
The stars in the night
The dolphin’s swimming
What a beautiful sight
The Caribbean islands
The wind beating the sails
Beautiful coastlines
And the beaches of Wales.
The sea is my live
Like the stars is the sky
I have live here
And it’s where I will die
