Stranger In A Stranger Land

Ocean stretches. Inviting, blue. 

Sandwashed sundrenched Tidal Stew. 

Buffett haven. Heavenly view. 

Perfect place for me and you. 

 

Balmy breezes. Palmy shade. 

A sling-shot toss from the Everglades.                

Purring surf. Purring you.

Lucky me. I cannot lose.

 

Sanddollar. Sea shell. Mighty Conch.

Sailor. Mermaid. Liquid lunch.

 

Wispy clouds. Barely wet.

Baked at noon. Cool sunset.

Rum and coke. Mostly rum.

Livin’ large and havin’ fun.

 

He said to me, without a hitch

Pirate Man, you son a’ bitch.

Your clipper’s short. Your wife is hot.

Come and show me what you got!

 

Sanddollar. Sea shell. Mighty Conch.

Sailor. Mermaid. Liquid lunch.

 

Swaggered up to prove him weak.

Threw a punch. Missed his cheek.

Stumbling past the Tiki Bar.

Fell upon a shooting star.

 

Took a ride without my feet.

Plumbed the depths, ocean deep.

Surrendered to your waiting hand.

A stranger in a stranger land.

 

Sanddollar. Sea shell. Mighty Conch.

Sailor. Mermaid. Life's a hunch.
