My She(L)

My Sisters 35th birthday today, I wrote this with her in mind some time ago.
Took a walk on a sandy beach
The crashing waves danced at my feet
A Rusty Pelican flew by
with a twinkle in his eye
Gulls laughed as they circled overhead.
Sea shells chipped to perfection
Kites dancing in the wind
Saturated salt air burning my nose hair
Kiddie castles melting with the tide
Then something hit me from out of nowhere
It was driftwood from an old tree
Smacked me in the head
Knocked me of my feet
Covered me up like i was dead
There I was trapped beneath the wood
I mean I was completely stuck
Started to use f words
They all ended in uck
Not a beachcomber heard my shout
Gave it all my lungpower
Nothing came out
But a little weeze
The crabs got interested
as did the sand fleas
Saw a sea lion asked him to help please
With whiskers all glistening wet
He said "Dear sir let me get my net"
He disappeared and came back in a flash
Net in hand to save my ass
“before I do this make me a promise”
whatever you want im being honest
He replied "There is a girl that is part fish"
Oh sounds like a tasty dish
A matter of fact she is
But she is in love with a squid.
Not a problem, just get this wood off of me
then with his net and his tail
I was saved from my drift hell
And I made it to my feet
I said old boy here is the key
If you and the mermaid are to be happy
Tell her you love her each day
And never a day can go by
When you don’t tell her the reason why
And with that the sea lion did
And won the mermaid from the squid
