On The Rocks
original watercolor seascape/Rockport, MA: 8" x 10"
Rockport Fever
Sophie and I
Are planning a trip
To Gloucester and Rockport
And, yes, Bearskin Neck
We’ll gaze at the ocean
Climb over the rocks
Paint Motif Number One
At the edge of the docks
We’ll dip our big toe
In the cold ocean water
Go swimming???
Are you kidding
It’s gotta get hotter
We’ll head to Pigeon Cove
Walk the breakwater above
Then buy fresh lobster
At the Co-op down below
With more things to do
More scenes to be viewed
We’ll need much more time
Than the plan we designed
So we’re savin’ our pennies
Our nickels and dimes
(We know it’s not much
But we’re tryin’ to rhyme)
For our piece of the Rock
Or a spot on the dock
Of Rockport’s scenic town
The best place we’ve found......
