Night on the beach
I’ve no feet of clay
Just sand between my toes
What simple pleasures
Others have all gone
The moon is my companion
And a pair of gulls
I can relax now
Far from the lies of the world
Away from my cares
I rest on the shore
Night's cover eases my old mind
Worries are all fixed
Asleep on the beach
Woken by a mermaids breath
Angels singing songs
Dare I snatch a kiss?
No! they will just box my ears
And laughing swim away
Chuckles! The pleasures of those afforded the privileges of leisure can be amusingly told. Nicely oldegg!

Delightful! Brought a smile to my face.
ReplyDeleteIt's a lovely image, and beats the heck out of working!
ReplyDeleteOh, snatch it anyway!
ReplyDeleteSitting on the beach at night, when everyone is gone is so peaceful! Smiling at the ending!
ReplyDeleteWish I could find that beach. Sounds perfect. It's cold (3 degrees) and snowy here. ;)
ReplyDeleteContented relaxation, and I'm with Cosmo...give it a try. You never know..
ReplyDeleteMermaids and angels....sweet/
ReplyDeleteFemale beings can be funny like that..the sea and the gulls are more constant..a warm beach bed..sounds rather nice..
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Thanks for the smile this morning!
ReplyDeleteThat beach is a vivid image, I smiled and relaxed. Thank you,

You had from that first stanza, from "no feet of clay" to "Just sand between my toes". Clever and fun.
