careen damage bitter fidget

He never had it so good
Very adept finally at it
Fascination with waves lapping the sides
Made him to venture out to sea

A skiff voyager all to himself
Done with transmigration to a seasoned sailor-boy
Far from any anechdoche crowd
He was basking in the likes of  a successful actor
Backlit bright, shadowed by the sun's rays
He could react easily to the resonance 
of  the strong currents below

Far from shore no needling from any damselfly
To skillfully careen against walls of sea-water
How he loved it!

There was little damage to his person
Perhaps sun-burnt a little
But no bitter experience to fidget about
Aye aye sir! He made the grade in style.
