The starlings are busy today
Finding insects to take away

What would that delicious food be?
Fresh baked bread and a spread of Brie
Juicy tomatoes
Yellow ripe mangoes
You couldn’t have a better tea!

I would like to be by the sea

I would like to be by the sea
Watching the waves, one, two, and three

GoldenLady Wed 26-May-21 16:15:20

I would like to be by the sea
Watching the waves, one, two, and three
And that lovely salt air

I would like to be by the sea
Watching the waves, one, two, and three
And that lovely salt air
Gets into my hair

I would like to be by the sea
Watching the waves, one, two, and three
And that lovely salt air
Gets into my hair
And makes me feel ever so free.

I love to put toes in the water

GoldenLady Wed 26-May-21 20:17:25

I love to put toes in the water
And not worry whether I oughta,

Hellogirl1 Wed 26-May-21 20:35:22

I love to put toes in the water
And not worry whether I oughta,
I call it paddling,

I love to put toes in the water
And not worry whether I oughta,
I call it paddling
Not fiddle-faddling

Hope you don’t mind a tweak to follow very strict 88558 rule ?

Love to put toes in the water

I call it paddling
Not fiddle-fiddling
Glad I won’t shrink and be shorter!

Now I am venturing deeper

henetha Thu 27-May-21 10:16:37

Now I am venturing deeper
With my emergency bleeper

GoldenLady Thu 27-May-21 15:52:30

Now I am venturing deeper
With my emergency bleeper
I hope it still works!

crazyH Thu 27-May-21 15:59:07

Now I am venturing deeper
With my emergency bleeper
I hope it still works!
Sometimes it croaks

Nell8 Thu 27-May-21 16:31:30

Now I am venturing deeper
With my emergency beeper
I hope it still works!
Sometimes it croaks
Oh, crikey - Hello? Grim Reaper?

Phew, the swell is lifting me high

FarNorth Thu 27-May-21 16:35:31

Phew, the swell is lifting me high
I'll float and look up to the sky

crazyH Thu 27-May-21 17:34:42

Phew, the swell is lifting me high
I'll float and look up to the sky
A surfer rides by

henetha Fri 28-May-21 11:13:28

Phew, the swell is lifting me high
I'll float and look up to the sky
A surfer rides by
Leaves me high and dry

crazyH Fri 28-May-21 13:36:45

Phew, the swell is lifting me high
I'll float and look up to the sky
A surfer rides by
Leaves me high and dry
But there’s no doubt I will still try

I wish I always looked sexy

I wish I always looked sexy
Just like my good friend, named Lexi.

Jangran99 Fri 28-May-21 14:19:38

I wish I always looked sexy
Just like my good friend, named Lexi.
It’s just too much faff

crazyH Fri 28-May-21 15:35:16

I wish I always looked sexy
Just like my good friend, named Lexi.
It’s just too much faff
My friends always laugh

GoldenLady Fri 28-May-21 16:40:12

I wish I always looked sexy
Just like my good friend, named Lexi.
It’s just too much faff
My friends always laugh
Like my Brit friend, who is a Brexi.

(Sorry, nothing else rhymes.)

A poem's not easy to write
I’ve struggled many a long night

A poem's not easy to write
I've struggled many a long night
My brain may explode
