Near Paradise, a poem

Life a relaxed beat
Marley singin’ sweet
Another day in paradise
Haven’t left the beach

Makin’ time to make time
With coconut and lime
Look, there’s still ice
It’ll blend up just fine

Hit and pass the chalice
An awning for a palace
Take some sage advice
Toss that useless ballast

Rolling blue wave horizon
Let’s your mood brighten
Friendly breeze feels nice
Find your cares lightened

Chase your new latitude
Embrace a new attitude
Like Jimmy Buffet enticed
No real reason to refuse
