The happy sea's shipwrecks comical poem 656 by Angela Lansbury

 I'm happy as the silver sea

You bring new happiness to me

I'm dancing like the tumbling waves

Like a lifeguard swims, free and brave


In winter time we stay on shore

And wait till summer comes once more


A dog, cat, child, blind man can see

You've brought purpose in life to me

An end to lonely misery

'though life's not always safe, pain-free


When I look in your lovely eyes

I see red earth, and bright blue skies

Sunmer sun, spring rain, winter snow

 The seeds we plant and water grow

Tall palms grow fast, though fruit seems slow 


We have a glowing group of friends

Ripples of goodwill never ends

We cut, and prune, and mow each hour

Dreaming of herbs, spices, flowers


Like a teenage couple glancing

A fairytale romance with dancing

Hold hands by a band, ballons, fir

Liqueur, bonheur and orchestra


Floating, glinting on sequinned sea

Wherever your float boat may be

Waves of joy bring you back to me

Vows like gems keep you happy


Like tourists surfing on the waves

Exploring vast inviting sea

Which pulls to safe sandy shores

Your shady haven, home with me.


But shores have rocks, you should expect

Don't shut your eyes, hope we don't see

Steer firm past pirates on shipwrecks

Who wish they'd sailed with you and me.
