My brain may explode

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

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.)

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'll float and look up to the sky

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

Love to put toes in the water
And not worry if I oughta
I call it paddling
Not fiddle-fiddling
Glad I won’t shrink and be shorter!

Not fiddle-faddling

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

And not worry whether I oughta,

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.

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!
