It’s Five O’ Clock
Come Monday, It’ll Be Alright
My tribute to Jimmy Buffet
Cheeseburgers and flip flops
navigational beacons
Paradise as the sun drops
moments pass while you’re blinking
🍔
The feel good rhythms of a steal guitar
cast away notions, of a small seaside bar
The casual escapes down by the ocean
margaritas and lime, melodies with devotion
🍹
Wasted away, searching again,
for that lost shaker of salt
Singing like it’s all pretend
found it’s nobody’s fault
🧂
Sail on Jimmy boy
We won’t forget what you said
The sun’s power to employ
Played on repeat in our heads
⛵️
Never the same
no one could play as you did
We’ll always remember your name
reliving when we were just kids
🎸
Some will only rock out
to ol’ molly hatchett
But we know, when life’s headed south
nothing compares to some Buffet

Rest in peace Jimmy Buffet. This was such a wonderful tribute!
Dear Mrs. Kelli - An outstanding and noticeable thing about your work is that you rarely focus back at yourself within your stories that I've read - that so many of us do - including me of course. You're always about your subject at hand; it's about them, and not about you, you are a marvelous StoryTeller. *I'm hoping that you take this as a compliment; I'm certain others have noticed this as well. Jay
He will certainly be missed. NIce tribute!
Great tribute, Kelli.
