I did not quite expect,
On the beach, in the sun,
A visit from dinos
Puppeted by a man.
Granted these all were smaller
Than the ones I would fear,
But I still did not really
Want them too near.
My eyes must’ve
Been wide
As I waved
Him aside,
But two chairs
To the right
He sold three
With delight.

Yah … it was quite the experience this summer. Especially given how all these ‘things’ are articulated and so they all kept moving in the breeze … yikes! ๐ Not for moi, but apparently there were those who found it quirky enough to buy … To be fair, they did look well made (from a distance … ;)).

Well that’s the most unusual beach sale I’ve ever seen!! Like you though I’d been waving him away, but would never have captured it so beautifully. Fabulous poem ๐

Thanks, Becky! He sure caught me by surprise with WHAT he was selling … These things were all ARTICULATED … which means they were swinging and moving in the breeze. … Nope. Not for moi … ๐ Works of art, really, just not my cup of tea … ๐
Certainly made for a memorable morning on the beach for me …
