Diversions II
By Gary Beck

The harbor is calm,
another peaceful day
on my mega-yacht.
Of course we never go to sea.
That could be hazardous.
You don’t know what could happen
when you’re on the ocean.
Some less fortunates
may make fun of me,
but I have the best
of both worlds
on my luxurious vessel.
