Snorkel attached to mask; he has flippers but no fin Big boy strolls on the beach, as natives tend to grin Always the landlubber but today just look at him Expert looking dorkus doesn't even know how to swim One foot in the ocean and one foot on the land Trembling big boy, will the fish there understand? You'd think he faced a madman, terrorizing Libyan Instead of on the beach somewhere in the Caribbean His wife was asleep, somewhere, sun-tanning. No! Not nude! The natives like a tourist who wear things loud just not lewd Would all the salt in the ocean keep this big boy afloat? Or would this be the last poem this landlubber e'er wrote I'm still writing I'm still writing the shark and the eel Might have bit me a bit but I was numb and couldn't feel For all of it was paid for, the bar and the buffet So big boy was big all right keeping fish there at bay I brought snapshots back to prove I kissed the mighty whale And bit the bottom of a piranha and lived to tell the tale But my wife already told you before I could caught her That big boy can't get past ankle deep in the ocean water OH YUH!

Shameless Walt~ Thanks for dragging this one back by the nets. Sure was a good catch for me ! Nothing like wading in and getting your feet wet. LOL at the image! ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |
