A POET’S THOUGHTS BY THE SEASIDE. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I love the moonlit waters to behold: To me ‘tis strangely pleasing ! Pleasing ? Ah ! that reminds me I have caught a cold, For pleasing rhymes with sneezing. I love to gaze upon the stars above, Till all my brain grows stupid. Stupid ? Ah ! that reminds me I am deep in love, For stupid rhymes with Cupid. I love upon the beach to stretch at ease And read the works of Tupper. Tupper ? Ah ! that reminds me of bread and cheese, For Tupper rhymes with supper. I love to stand, when day has long since fled, And watch each rising billow, Billow ? Ah ! that reminds me I must go to bed, For billow rhymes with pillow. ________________ // _____________________ barb, ontario, canada.
