So many whams and bams and thank-me-ma’ams,

“I'm getting soft! I need the sea!
I miss its greens and blues and grays.
Its singing whales.
Its silent rays.
Its shipwrecks resting on the sand.
Undiscovered and unmanned
Removed now from all history
I miss the sea!
Its mystery.
Its kelp.
Its creatures.
Crabs and corals
Devoid of complicating morals.
Its secrets.
All its saline riches.
I'm going home.”
David Elliott, Bull
