by Connor GilliganWe stayed up too late We played cards till four We drank some days And we drank some more We took a trip to get a grip On the life we are a-livin’ We sailed a ship And took a dip In the ocean, unforgiving We ate great food And when in the mood We rode on rollercoasters We laughed and joked We’re nearly broke But at least we all enjoyed it We slept till noon We drank harpoon On the right nights We stared at the moon We lived like lords Spent time on boogie boards and braved the hoards Of the 97th Street concession. When the sun did shine We took some time To frolic on the beach And may the memories of summer ‘17 forever be in reach. Sand Bars, Big Waves, Boogies Boards Ferry, fishing trips, beach bums Long days on the beach Beautiful bright sunsets of pink and purple Court parties The moon over the ocean’s cold and still dark water The pink and red sunset over the glistening bay Sailboats and cruise ships sail over the never-ending sea We hiked
And swam We biked And ran Ate at the concessions Trotted on the boardwalk Explored the old army buildings and bunkers of Fort Tilden Swam in the ocean for hours on end Ignored responsibilities Blew money in Las Vegas And probably ate a few hundred bagels The good times had Have left me glad To be a part of all the fun And once again With pad and pen We can bask in the sun The sun, salt air, and camaraderie makes the summer a special time for me The days are longer The sun is stronger No longer/any longer/wronger
