Seagulls hovering Uneven hills encircle Tide pool reflection

Empty moorings and Quiet lighthouse watch the bay Crawl back to the sea
All I wanted to do was ride my mo… And make out at Spooner’s Point. But when Mary Daley got pregnant Her father threatened me with the… So I married her and went to work
