A true story!!!
I was sitting on Cocoa Beach in Florida a few years ago when I witnessed this elderly couple with serious tans carrying on like teenagers...
They came walking thru the surf, hand in hand
with thier silver hair and those perfect tans.
Forty years ago they ruled this beach
he was the toast of the town, and she was his queen.
They held court on this tiny spit of land;
the pin-up girl and her surfer man.
They remember it clear as a summer sky,
just like it was back in '65;
when they were king and Queen.
They came from a time too long ago,
of longboards and transistor radios.
The cellphone crowd paid them no mind
I alone could see and realize..
The King and Queen came back today,
I guess it's time to pass down the reign.
To the newest royalty,
stretching as far as the eye could see.
With the sun as thier old friend,
they took that royal stroll again.
Silently I paid homage to what had been,
to the King and Queen.
