Can�t really Relate-on-ships
Small boats, nice sized yachts? Maybe.
But once I�m back on dry land??
Seriously, it�s on!!!

I�m-gonna-get-right-up-on-that-beach; Caribbean, Norwegian, NO matter
But the bored & boring can take a walk. Because I�m about that excitement
Like when one first tips or runs into that surf. That rush of the water touching the body
That tingling against one�s toes; that sensation
Just happening over and over again
At least �till one�s done!!

Yet, unfortunately I don�t swim too well
But I can get my stroke on and it ain�t just me saying it
But I'm personally more into Bahamas Hot Tubing than that English Channel Surfing �
So I don�t go toooo far out!! �I also have a severe allergy
A bad one relative to them Sharks; them Jokers
For them, one always has to be on the lookout
Moreover, I definitely wouldn�t wanna drown due to a friendly-turned-nasty-entanglement
You know, like trying to save another swimmer�s ass when neither one of us should�ve been out that deep

And how deep is DEEP???

Meanwhile back on the seaside, I�m thinking Relate-on-ships are just too difficult
Too many bells & whistles to contend wit�too many distractions
At least for me!! Them Pleasure Ships usually got too many people
Plus you�re stuck-out in the vastness of it all
And one�s immobility is a challenge�do you sea?
Sick... so if you�re not the Captain or bare minimum the First Mate
Your left �not� being able to wing it! �

But man, give me a nice cottage; an isolated beach
I�m talking about one with a pristine surface
Bringing in my own Driftwood to grow, plant and go
Maybe stop, then hop and go again. �Man, that�s what�s up!!!

My Grand Dad used to call that �Havin' Relations, Good Relations�
Ship to shore until there is �NO more�
Those without a motor gotta use that oar!
Row, row, row until sore; ensuring
That the water; that it ain�t on your floor

Need we say more?
