 Shops Ashore 2

boredom inspires
some of our best
      adventures.

deckchairs seem 
      designed to 
inspire lethargy.

fossilized  bones 
   of ancient
      dinosaurs,
 
inspire a certain 
      solemn 
sense of awe

ashore, shops
   hold bright
   attractions,

      for those
of us with 
   much less 
deadly teeth, 

      attractions
and distractions
seem so welcome,

as we continue
      on our 
weary ways.

      thousands 
   wait: hungry,
bored and tired.
