A Mad Ocean – Poem About a Girl

THAT mad ocean dancing the Charleston
 Her waves, waltzing upon the disco floor,
 
Her reel in twirls and swirls with itself
 Bopping, swooning She is sure in her ways,
 fox-trotting along horizons,
 Her legs assiduous, that ocean I declare
 A tender cruel woman, or a woman
 Plainly everywhere, plainly nowhere
 
No matter what song they played
 She swung and swayed in each tune's bosom,
 Bosom, blossom and she swaggered across
 Where the sands lay shells to rest
 No chart hit or smash
 But whispered sweet nothings, sweet everythings.
