We never made it to the cape

Sam Cook, ’26

From Rexhame to Rockport

We’ve touched all the top shores

We just couldn’t want more

Except for the hook

 

Fried oysters and clams

Subs scarfed on the sand

The summer suns set

Without second look

 

From north of ol’ Boston

I hope you’re not lost in

The rip tide I left us

Without an escape

 

Portside sat my knot

But our promise did rot

And we never made it

But will, to the Cape
