By The Shore

 
I wallow at the shores of insanity
Splashing about like a fat child
With my floaties, goggles and SPF 30 on
Mother looks on pleased
I gingerly play about careful
To stay in the shallows
Though the deeper water calls to me
I dare not go any further
As I have seen
People not return from the deep
But still it beckons
No I will stay and play in the sand
Write my name and watch it fade
As though insanity reclaims it
But I mock in false protest
I pound my chest and flail my arms
As though I have swam
In those demon and ungodly
Infested waters
Triumphant to giggle and
Sing by the shore
