White sand Waikiki inspires today's poem. Enjoy!
Brown Pensacola Beach Blues
"... 9 mile stretch of beach, in a 65 day sheen..."
The landfall came with the world all watching
Tar balls and heartbreaks on day 65
Sandy beach turning black, south Pensacola
Cleanup turned deadly down Louise'anna way
Nine miles of white beach on this barrier island
Beachfront property extinction display
Dolphin on the shoreline, tourists in no line
No children run out on the beach to play
Who wants to buy this beachfront property?
Who's willing to bet on new white sugar sands?
Take the chance of your life with my 99 year lease
On day 65, complete with new plans
Cool weather was once, nice soft and breezy
Hammering and sawing was our new life foreseen
Million-or-so-a-day's worth of black oil gushing
9 mile stretch of beach, in a 65 day sheen
