Mystique saturates, gluts the air,
Adventure’s even more than rare,
Excitement’s everywhere to share,
And Novelty’s beyond compare.

Beacon, beacon, lonesome on a hill—
Waves run aground, pound ‘round, what a thrill!
Water water everywhere crashes,
Shore’s not lazy for it mashes, bashes…..
Summer’s when tourists traipse o’er to see you,
Offering to wipe-wash your dust and mildew;
Summer painters place you with dinghy and gull,
Historians have you as subject o’er which to mull.
When feline Fog drifts gently or is heavy,
Your bright light’s followed by boat bevy;
And during those calm, clear days and nights
You’re that upright nautical dream exciting tiny tykes.

A broken heart, too much cold beer, ocean waves and a willing man were never a good combination, no matter what the country songs said.
