I don’t often write poems, but felt the need to post one today. I thought I’d write a tongue-in-cheek piece about pollution and the sea. I do like to live beside the seaside though. Really!

I love to live beside the sea

Beside the sea is really me.

Beside the sea is really me

Who wants to swim where fishes pee?

Who wants to swim where fishes pee?

In a scenic polluted sea.

In a scenic polluted sea

Where others like to be.

Where others like to be

To splash and play and pee.

To splash and play and pee

Where prying eyes can’t see.

Where prying eyes can’t see

Pollution running free.

Pollution running free

I live beside the sea.

I live beside the sea

The sea is really me.

The sea is really me

Am I pee, am I pee, tee hee? 

Am I pee, am I pee, tee hee?

No, not me, not me!

No, not me, not me

I never pollute my sea.

I never pollute my sea,

Not me!

    The poem took an unusual turn after the first few lines,lol. the real thing, not the romantic waters.

  • Peace Poet on Jul 11, 2011

    This is a very impressive poem. The refrain in the last lines adds to the musical quality of the poem.

    Yes there are some strange things in the sea. I once had a job collecting fish farts for spirit levels.

  • Rosettaartist1 on Jul 12, 2011

    Hope you write about that Dennis.
