Strolling along the white sandy beach
Aquamarine waves lapping over my feet
A gentle breeze brushing against my skin
Billowy clouds hide a cerulean sky within
So I took a dive into the aquamarine sea
It's dark silky depths enclosing me
Swimming fiercely into the tides
Through the chartreuse seaweed I glide
A tangerine octopus smiles up at me
As sea lemons hide in the coral reef
Sea horses spin pieces of sea lavender
Through my green and ruby watermelon hair
Fastening saffron flowers about my neck
As I hover above a woeful shipwreck
Lips are shined with pale lilac shells
As above a summer wind swells
Always returning to where I belong
Casting spells as I sing my song

I love to march along the Icknield way:
Bretton Heath, Brickklin Covert and Caistor;
Fring Cross, Sedgeford and Swaffham still hold sway.
The sea sings with Terns and Oystercatcher
As we descend to the cold distant shore.
The air is perfumed with sea lavender
And Norfolk’s rich and abundant secret store:
Shrubby sea-blite, sea aster and rock rose.
Rome, come and unleash my manly desire!
Now take away my Icini motherhood
And bring destruction through blood and fire.
Look upon the Torc, a twisted beauty,
Tortured out of gold, silver and art;
And with unbridled terror, our land depart.
