Norway Beach

Norway Beach

is a bit of a reach

Not too far for some

to close to camp

they will come

Saturday needing no lamp.

*

Pets are allowed and I can

imagine the noise, not the plan

I had for camping

or sleeping.

A little yipping here

and a yapping there

a woof woof everywhere.

*

I am expecting fun

Saturday will bring sun

and time at the beach

please no leech

the Norway pine

are majestic and fine!

*

We went there all of the time

as kids, mom loved it sometime

when it was hot in the house

and when it was quiet as a mouse

and the water was warm

no one experienced any harm.

July and August were a charm.

*

We could spend all day in the lake

sometime we would start to bake

we would look like a brown bun

after a day in the sun.

Today I get cramps in my feet

when the water is cold, oh sweet!

*

I spend my time now laughing

with family and friends catching

up on life's goings-on

how long it takes to mow our lawn?

Aches and pains and doctor visits.

You know all the specialists.

We go to the water, no talk, just sits.
