His magic kingdom ...

I read Sherston's Progress on South Beach - 

This morning there were no weekend yachts moored offshore - 

There were no barrel chested dads snarfing bacon rolls - 

No jet skis buzzed Old Harry - 

No golden maned girls lolled upon the sand - 

The silky sea was empty - 

Clouds moved slowly across the sky - 

A boy searched for shells in the shallows - 

This shore was his magic kingdom -
