Two round pegs on a square-peg world
Went sailing on the sea
We got the Genoa unfurled
Trekked downwind peacefully
We had martinis on the deck
The trip was such a ball
The dark cloud that was once a speck
Became a sudden squall
A rock, a wind, a nasty wave
The boat now has a hole
The rudder now will not behave
Along the waves we roll
Awakened on a sandy beach
A kiss upon my cheek
Is paradise within my reach?
I open eyes to peek
A bountiful, natural place
Where fruit and fish are ample
With food, abundant, we say grace
And eat a healthy sample
We dry ourselves beside the fire
The moon rises above
The breeze is thick with our desire
The stars twinkle with love
As twilight ends we made our bed
There high upon the shore
Then when the morning came we said
We want to leave no more
The calmness of the water frames
The colorful sunrise
A thousand times that beauty flames
Within her gorgeous eyes
We lost all track of days and nights
And smiled most all the time
Ate berries and took in the sights
Drank coconut and lime
She draws me pictures in the sand
I weave her skirts of vine
We dance by moonlight hand in hand
And all the world is fine
And when upon horizon’s line
Another boat will show
We use branches to cover mine
And hide until they go
Two round pegs on an island give
Each other so much bliss
I will not any ending give
A story such as this
