Along sea margin,
the Sea Marge extended,
and the boys of the house
played boisterously on shore.
They were seven brothers
and they tussled
and tried out tag
to the background of sea's roar.
They had a sister
but they would not let her
join their tousled fun...
She stayed in Sea Marge, lonely, looking on.
***
The Sea Marge is a hotel in Norfolk, England.
