Shoegazer Snaps

I spent Easter weekend at home on the coast with my boyfriend. The weather held out for the most part, so we went for a long walk up the sea shore to an old boat graveyard, littered with battered old fishing boats, driftwood and sea debris . . .

A little old man of the sea

Went out in a boat for a sail,

The water came in

Almost up to his chin

And he had nothing with which to bail.

But this little old man of the sea

Just drew out his jackknife so stout,

And a hole with its blade

In the bottom he made,

So that all of the water ran out.
