Going to Hawaii
Your feet buried in the sand
As the waves go by and by
Laughter and fun
In the hot Hawaii sun
Shovels scoop the sand up
and plop it in the buckets
As wet as a walrus
A towel all over
Time to go home
To your good old hale
Warm as a cat
Watching the peacocks graze
Many hours have passed
You get a little sleepy
You do a small yawn
Look at the sea
And look back into the boat
You feel like you are dozing off
But for some reason
You aren’t
The trip’s over now
And you are happy about what you saw

Sick of the Sea
by Charlotte
Your body feels weak and trembly
Quite cold
And exhausted
You feel like you are going to fall to your knees
But for some reason you don’t
You feel like you need to shake
But you won’t
The oars make a small spash
And you feel like you are going to doze off
Softly, the boat tips side to side
And a smooth glide
Soon you’re home in your warm bed
Your family is all around you
You wake up slightly
Then when you see the morning sun
You are awoken
The Sea
Standing by the rocky shore
The breeze blowing past your face
Seeing cats on the dock
Fishermen hauling up fish
Women in their silky white gowns
Chasing their blowing-away hats
A smile across your face when you see
The kids playing in the reefs
Soon it’s time to go home
