Copper sky on the netted loch,
Beaming from the dusty dusk,
Fishes on ride of hops scotch,
As the dolphins play to busk,

On the shore stands a couple,
For the beach party of yule,
Solitaire game on shuffle,
As they enjoy with no rule,

Yuletides ball on a pause,
As the tides are on wraths,
The couple holds on to the cause,
Taking many deep breaths,

The tides wrench the shore,
Taking the crowd with it,
But the couple holds for more,
Till the last minute,

Overnight had a miracle,
Corpse scattered like a feather,
Broken ankle and twisted ankle,
But the couple still together...
