A New Song About The Sea

________________________________________________
Title:     A New Song About The Sea
Author: Edward Shanks [More Titles by Shanks]

From Amberley to Storrington,
From Storrington to Amberley,
From Amberley to Washington
You cannot see or smell the sea.
But why the devil should you wish
To see the home of silly fish?

Since I prefer the earth and air,
The fish may wallow in the sea
And live the life that they prefer,
If they will leave the land to me,
So wish for each what he may wish,
The earth for me, the sea for fish.


[The end]
Edward Shanks's poem: New Song About The Sea
