Just loves to have a talk,
Sometimes his tongue gets so hot
He dips it in the water trough,
Zac really is a dork....

Said trough heart not mouth,
Felt by all who know.
And yet I’m not the one who understands

Surfing 

I am not always under,
But I haven’t learned to surf the top.
Arriving at the trough and wondering
When the pain is going to just stop.
