Surfin' CA
The beach was the best, the waves were high
yet far to short, and timid was I-
I tried so often, and tried so hard
yet by me the picture was marred.
The board was short, and i am tall
the waves came fast and didnt last
and so too often I would fall
so often, i didn't get up at all.
But i had fun in the waves that day
though it was cold, and the sky was grey
though i never acheived my goal
and came home a frozen soul.
Perhaps next time i try again
and stand aloft above the waves
for a second, and then
fall with a laugh into the splash.
