The Inkwell

#beach #coast #sea

The sea was bored, so he came to play

he’d been busy looking after

the shellfish, the crustaceans and other nippers

but they’d all gone – so he came looking

The fish were darting around the coral

chasing the bubbles about

The crabs were picking up shiny stuff

and making the seagulls shout

So on his own – he turned away

when from the sand – something came to play

two big feet and two little feet

emerged from the sandcloud – a really nice treat

And atop of his head – he gave a wave

as in his waters the four feet played

and giggles of fun could be heard with glee

till another sound called out – it was time for tea

So as they returned to the sandy banked edge

to enjoy a tea of fish and chips, lemon wedge

the sea waved goodbye to his pinky toed friends

hoping they’d come back – so the fun wouldn’t end
