Boogie Board Fever!
Immersed in a beach named Myrtle
simmering in her salty froth
floating on a little something
to tide me over
never board with this boogie
as I harness the waves
to the underside
of my tethered ride
waiting for my faith
to move mountains of water
that will carry me
in a mad rush of current
to the edge of its wake
and the end of my eddying dream
S U D D E N L Y ~~~~~~~~~~~/
I am swept up
on a foam pillow curling
round my prone figure hurling
swimmers scramble to clear me
a path as I soar
on a cushion of water
to white sands spread before me
that will cradle my landing
like a rough army blanket
where I'll bank it or tank it
skim the ebbs or just spank it
then dash back to the next wave
for more chances to surf
cross the lip of the ocean
to the chin of it's turf
