A lone palm against the sea, Iโd really rather be, said he, a wayward sailor, or thirsty whaler, than a restless vine, always to pine, for a fever dream of motion, in this wily ocean. Some wanderlust seascapes listed in the shop!

Chet heard the twins playing on the old grass courts again. It was after midnight, but they loved the dark and only played with the racquets Uncle Bic picked up after the war. Trouble was the twins died years back, but Chet guessed they were restless again. Had these up on the wall in an Airbnb I used to have, long gone.

Alligator and sailor lived in a boat
sailor eyed him slyly - my what a coat!
I shall nab him towards midnight,
skin him quick, for alligators sleep light
night wore on, they drank much rum,
tattooed their arms with dear olโ mum
sailor certainly tried, but only certainly died
Tis morn now and alligatorโs a bloat
and all thatโs left is sailorโs pea coat

Hey there sailor, got a smoke? Itโs for me and my bloke - yes, weโre awfully broke! We sailed the seas for money, not so funny, lost it all to a whale with a mighty big tail, in a menacing gale, me bloke quite pale, but thatโs another tale, ended up in jail, and now weโre set to sail!

Lolly loved a polly on the island of Squally. Two days in the parrot died, Lolly cried. She found an old turtle dining on snails, she proposed a friendship, and thus they remained for thirty years, then bitter tears, when Raj left Lolly for a chimp named Raleigh. Reframed these two paintings with two beautiful gold frames. Both sold.

Get back up on your pedestal, Harold! cried Agatha, and she picked him off the floor and promptly put him back. Itโs the only way I can tolerate you. Just added these beautiful vintage (probably antique) ceramic pedestal stands to my shop.
