Thought for the Day I go down to the shore....

[Paul Whybrow]

I Go Down To The Shore​

I go down to the shore in the morning
and depending on the hour the waves
are rolling in or moving out,
and I say, oh, I am miserable,
what shall —
what should I do? And the sea says
in its lovely voice:
Excuse me, I have work to do.
