Analysis of Big boys
Big wave riders get all the fame.
Boogie board riders stake their claim.
Ocean swimmers keep the pace,
Slow and steady wins their race.
Nippers run out from the shore,
Youthful vigour, hungry for more.
Old clubbies on the beach,
Years of wisdom,
They can teach.
There all brothers,
That's the notion,
To be as one,
With the ocean.
