Real Jewels.
The tough stringy finger of Lizard pride
Bends as this peninsular stands apart
And needs naught but to keep its rough mind
On Its own serpentine business. Starting
With red-stained stone which now famously
Honed art changes to Lizard-look gems
Which exude age-old learnt skills for plainly
Its rule over each rocky cove knows when
To flood boulders or show them naked. Fringed
With bluest of waters the Lizard\'s part
In coastal precociousness offers sun-singe
Then can batter with sudden storm starting
Battles of courage as the proud locals
Fight back with sand-ready bags \'til once more
Ship-shape each cottage, tho\' gale-broken
Meets repair and boats get shored as before
When granite-maw closes again. Departing
We meet raw defiance in fisher-folk view
of continuous striving with hearty
applause to beautiful Lizard\'s real jewels.
