The Bookstore on the Beach <\/b><\/p>\n
Green Oliver ran a bookstore on Venice Beach<\/p>\n
It stocked many modern writers<\/p>\n
And Kierkegaard sold especially well<\/p>\n
Oliver could always be found in his shocking pink deckchair<\/p>\n
In front of the store<\/p>\n
Many people considered him to be a slacker<\/p>\n
But I knew the truth<\/p>\n
For when the store was closed<\/p>\n
He would discuss its layout with me<\/p>\n
And its relationship<\/p>\n
With the dynamics of the night-tide<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Anita Unclothed<\/b><\/p>\n
Further down the beach a woman named Anita<\/p>\n
Owned a shop selling all kinds of beachwear<\/p>\n
She designed everything she sold<\/p>\n
And it made her proud<\/p>\n
To see her creations<\/p>\n
Displayed on the beach<\/p>\n
But all was not well<\/p>\n
For she knew that the increasing<\/p>\n
Popularity of nudism<\/p>\n
Would begin to eat into her profits<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Lifeguard <\/b><\/p>\n
Frank had been a lifeguard for over forty years<\/p>\n
And now was in his mid-seventies<\/p>\n
He still rescued unfortunates<\/p>\n
Each day from the sea<\/p>\n
Frank had been decorated many times<\/p>\n
During his days in Vietnam<\/p>\n
And had been a champion body builder<\/p>\n
But he was going slowly blind<\/p>\n
A fact that he kept to himself<\/p>\n
As he knew that there was no call for blind lifeguards<\/p>\n
Even here in Venice<\/p>\n
