We went to the Michael Beans show at Leverick Bay the other night with our fellow Salty Dawg Rallyers. Paul won a ‘Blowhard’ prize (rum and a t-shirt)\u00a0for the longest conch horn blow of 57 seconds. It was a fun night and the songs were very entertaining and about everyday stuff out here in the Caribbean. Michael is from Michigan and has some great tunes which mention places we are familiar with from when we lived in Holland, Michigan a few years back. He inspired me to write the following for our kids.<\/p>\n
CRAZY PARENTS<\/p>\n
We have some crazy parents<\/p>\n
Who left us high and dry<\/p>\n
To sail the deep blue ocean<\/p>\n
To see the big blue sky<\/p>\n
\n
They didn\u2019t take us with them<\/p>\n
A visit we can take<\/p>\n
If we fund it with our money<\/p>\n
cause retirement means no cake<\/p>\n
\n
We often don\u2019t know where they are<\/p>\n
We can\u2019t talk to them at whim<\/p>\n
They blog updates as they desire<\/p>\n
Between snorkel, play and swim<\/p>\n
\n
It\u2019s a mystery why they made this choice<\/p>\n
To head out to the sea<\/p>\n
But a life on board called to them<\/p>\n
And they went for it with glee<\/p>\n
\n
We miss our crazy parents<\/p>\n
They miss us too they say<\/p>\n
But for now they\u2019re staying out at sea<\/p>\n
To enjoy each\u00a0sunny day<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
