Half Full by Maria Scrivan for August 17, 2022

Yeah, he does look a little funny with his nose painted completely white.

He is just promoting a new brand of chewing gum.

That’s some bad hat, Harry.

I rather like it! LOL

At least he isn’t holding up a “Jaws” pennant.

… watch out for the old ‘take your dog named Shark to the beach’ action..

….and he’s not whistling Dixie

Given the shark attacks this summer, including several children now in need of artificial limbs, I’m not sure this is all that funny. YMMV

Actually it would serve as a reminder to swimmers to be alert.

LOL!

Sittin’ in the mornin’ sun

I’ll be sittin’ when the evenin’ comes

Watching the waves roll in

Then I watch ’em roll away again, yeah

I’m sittin’ on the lifeguard chair

Watchin’ the tide roll away, ooh

I’m just sittin’ on the lifeguard chair

Wastin’ time

I left my home in Georgia

Headed for the Frisco Bay

‘Cause I’ve had nothin’ to live for

It look like nothin’s gonna come my way

So I’m just gon’ sittin’ on the lifeguard chair

Watchin’ the tide roll away, ooh

I’m sittin’ on the lifeguard chair, wastin’ time

Look like nothin’s gonna change

Everything still remains the same

I can’t do what ten people tell me to do

So I guess I’ll remain the same, yes

Sittin’ here restin’ my bones

And this loneliness won’t leave me alone, listen

Two thousand miles, I roam

Just to make this chair my home

Now I’m just gon’ sit, at the lifeguard chair

Watchin’ the tide roll away, ooh yeah

Sittin’ on the lifeguard chair

Wastin’ time
