CrashTourist Tide

The tourist tide is turning to high,
Filling in all the empty spaces.
Claiming away the places for themselves.
Believe they're entitled to be loud
And dump refuse where they go.
Travel down and pay out for the view.
...
Troops carrying along all the pretty things
To show off on the visit
On a long trek to the water.
Enjoying the sunshine and breeze.
Never bothering to ask,
"Can we park on your lawn, please?"
...
No time to wait in the line anymore.
Quick stop at the store, too long!
Food and fuel prices fill up the tide.
Crowding into any space they can find.
Getting in the way of any rest
Party down while we all work away

Snag - Hmmmm, I'll drink to that. The ocean holds no memory of us. It just is.

Peace & Hugs,

Skye, So sudden you can tell it's rigged- ie: milk up .2o in one day to $3.65 - I'm on Mon. here...

Neo, Glug, glug.... "The ocean is a desert with it's life underground" (-America) It does hold n toss out to the beach tons of rubbish tho!

I had tourists coming in my whole life... they'd come and then they'd go. Some said they would stay in touch, most never did.

That's what growing up in an ocean side town meant to me.

That... and being able to swim in the ocean fully dressed if the urge ever came up ;)

Tourists are coming, lock the doors and stockpile the whiskey!

Zoey, The crowds used to not bother me so much, but I'm getting old n grumpy about it now- mostly because of the noise n inconvenience (N missed sleep). I prefer winter now! Bathing suits are always optional!

Janus, Quick! Get all the supplies you need on Tues, cause all the fav stuff will be sold out by Fri every week! Whisky? hiccup!
