The New Beach Sands are often saturated

By the unpredictable Blue Reef Tides

Dot Shingle is a London trained artist

And is much celebrated in our little village

She is also my lovely Aunt Dorothy

I have just painted three church frescoes

Which will be blessed as July matures


Before this great event my aunt will remarry

The late captain of the Marie Bell Lynn

We will all celebrate on the shifting sands

And dance until the sea chills our exhausted feet

The Pink Moon will then lay low on the horizon

Before its journey into the softness of the night
