The Happy Sea's Shipwrecks comical poem 656 by Angela Lansbury

 I'm happy as the silver sea

Friends bring new happiness to me

I'm dancing like the tumbling waves

Like a lifeguard swims, free and brave


In winter travellers stay on shore

Lazy, till summer calls once more


A dog, cat, child, blind man can see

Who's brought purpose in life to me

Grandchildren end 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'll plant, water will grow


I'll teach you all the myths I know,

Tall palms grow fast,

The past won't last

Be patient, fruit at first grows 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 bands, 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 most hosts 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.

-ends-
