To Foster Follett

If there were many miles of me

How I would love to trail

My length along the cooling sea

Above the brown sea kale.

Were there five thousand feet of me

Instead of five feet four,

A thousand times as cool I'd be

Swimming from shore to shore.

And when I saw a brewery

Upon some cape or isle

I'd crawl out of the dripping sea

And greet it with a smile.

Then all my lovely coils I'd wrap

Around that brewery,

And when I'd squeezed out every drap

Slide back into the sea.
