Grand Plan For A Fun Day At Sea

Is it truly a grand plan, or am I just playing in the sand
I started with a blank canvas and my ideas close at hand

I’m going to leave the shore and tumbleweeds behind
And set sail for the open sea, of this I am inclined

A rainstorm is visible to the north, so I will sail toward the south
Time for fresh-squeezed lime and tequila in my mouth

Have you ever seen the green flash of a sunset on the ocean
It will leave you tongue-tied and filled with grand emotion

I’ve often wondered how a sunset looks from the other side
Viewing it from under the sea is likely a much different ride

I head back to shore, a fun day at sea as promised
Grand plan or not, my mission was accomplished
