Where the Land Meets the Sea

The ghost and the skeleton sat,

At the edge where the land meets the sea

The skeleton said “The sea’s where it’s at”

And the ghost said “No way, not for me”

 

The sea is so vast, and teeming with life

You can dive in and out all day long

The land is so stiff, with hard surfaces rife

My bones rattle, and arrange themselves wrong

 

Then the ghost cried, “But the land is such fun!”

In the sea, my sheet’s soggy and clumpy

On land I can billow, and watch people run

And make all the caretakers grumpy

 

So, the ghost and the skeleton sat,

At the edge where the sea meets the land

And forgot all about their small spat

As they lounged on the pier, sheet in hand
