OCEANS

Sometimes the Atlantic Ocean is referred to as the pond.
It’s not an expression of which I’m fond.
I don’t usually see eye to eye with people who use that expression.
It could be said that we’re oceans apart.
Talking of oceans, the Pacific to be specific,
Isn’t it amazing how its southern waters share their name with a popular musical?
What an inspiring sea!
None of the others share their names with a smash hit show.
Current thinking among oceanographers suggests that oceans and seas are vast bodies of water and that there’s more liquid on Earth than land.
So why they should be expected to inspire musicals, as well as being big, is hard to understand.
Ocean liners, it strikes me, must create the most fleetingly ephemeral and shallow lines…
We all know how water behaves, moving so fast when it’s displaced that it can’t be traced.
Allegedly, the Red Sea parted for Moses but when it drowned the Egyptians on his tail he didn’t give a damn!
