Rejoice
1.
Easter Sunday
Guess where I am
If you guessed Alameda...
A tree uniting all
So cute and bungaloid
Fascinating flora
2.
God's golden shore
First stop the bird pond
Where it was all go,
All about mating
Seagulls kick up a ruckus
Folks throwing them food,
Don't think they are supposed to
Ducks are adamant
The coot had to scoot
There's the beach,
Not many brave the on-shore breeze
There's the water,
Up here with the gulls
and the kites
Oh happy day
Checking out the local hangs
Today's expedition selects
As it's far point
That pointy point of land
The big winter bird population
Has split by now
What they do?
Father forgive them they know not,
How I admired this great cypress
Growing right on the shore
I move on
Delightful Arabic girls
Explore the bright beach scene
They are well-behaved and respectful
My proverbial Marine lunch
They even gave us blue tablecloths today
Of course the wind has other ideas,
Raisins, candied ginger,
"Girl Scout Cookies"
My nearest neighbor,
New green branches
Ever tossing in the wind
The Arabic women and girls
Sit together in the grass
The men sit at another table,
Wonder if they are Christian
Nutrient rich bay,
Benign sunshine
I come to my point
Young able-bodied people
Turn back
Not me, baby
I go out on the rocks
I sit out on the water
Fisherman gets lucky
Three fish on one line
Shiny new hand-railing
Installed this Winter
On the submarine walkway
Think I'll doff me boots,
Carry them in my knapsack
Time for my walk-on-the-water routine,
And so I do
