LOL!!!!!!!!! From surfers searching for the perfect wave, eh? Niiiiice.
ahhahaha, loved the history lesson! Seriously Joe, I love your poem. Even if it hadn't been me, I would have loved that poem....(but I probably like it a lot more because it has me in it!)
It is an absolutely witty and divine piece!! You are a great talent!

Re: NiteTide
Well, right now my favorite nursery rhyme is "Mindy Had a Little Verse." Few people know that the original version of this poem was penned by monks in a little known monastery near Malibu. It was lost, buried in the sand for many years, until it was re-discovered by religious surfers searching for the perfect wave. I have other favorite nursery rhymes. Perhaps another one will appear one day on this site. But forever more "Mindy Had a Little Verse" will remain my favorite. I must admit I do have a fondness for "Jack and Jill".
