Waves from the beach match my waves for my drink The waitress comes over and asks what’s my order I said I can’t choose “I’m feeling like there’s clouds above me, It’s been a rough few days and these double hotel rooms are bland and lonely.” “Not a problem, sir.

I guzzled down the drink to reach the tequila faster, But the wind picks up and it looks like a disaster. I ask for one more, with the umbrella. This fairy godmother returns with another margarita. The buzz has transformed me like I’m Cinderella. I leave a 20 at the table and walk towards the beach, ignoring the families with kids who all they do is screech. Clutching both umbrellas, I walk to the shore One of God’s many gifts for us to explore. I never noticed how nice he made the decore.

The speakers down below blast the drum section from that one song, And I stayed up there for I don’t know how long, But when I descended, My pain was suspended and my emotions were splendid. So next time, when your mind feels cloudy and your thoughts are rowdy Ask for a drink with an umbrella You’ll soon find yourself smiling, cheesing more than mozzarella.
