Beneath the illumination of the elliptical moon,
Within the cove of diamond bay, waves gently sway
Back and forth, under the oceans clarity of the big blue,
As the surfs foam and spray roll against the white sandy
Beaches...

I Dream of Steam
The 'tock', 'tock', 'tock' of the station clock,
the clickety clack of the board.

In the dark moonless night

Don’t move a muscle
Stay right where you are
Waiting...

Young Whipper Snappers
Was self-employed for thirty-five years
So when I finally called it quits
No big party, no expensive gold watch
No well wishers, no funny quips
