Starfish-on-the -Toast

Donovan Leitch 

Fine rock a-pooling coast

The starfish on the toast

The men in the crabbing boats they cried

Far across the harbor

'Round the sandy cove

the shepherd wee’ his pipe and sheep he drove

Big cloud tumbling high

The amazing flying sky

How the gulls are pillaging the town

Fan faring daffodilly

Trumpetingly small

All along the bathing hot wall

Far across the empty beach 

The tide has left this world

Old men in tweed find study there

Holding whelks and periwinkles 

Tingling in his hand

Little does he know they hold him too

Fine rock pooling coast

The starfish on the toast

The men in the crabbing boat they cried
