Pacific/Specific

“Specific” I said
“Pacific” she said.
“Can you be more specific? ” I said
“About what? ” she said
“I DON’T RECALL” I said
“Did it have anything to do with
Oceans”? she said.
“No, just be more specific” I said.
“OK, I will
Do you want to see my legs? ”
She said.
“Oh yes” I said, “I love your legs
They are as long as the Panama Canal
Connecting the two oceans” I said.
“So it does have to do with oceans” she said.
“I guess so, your knees are driving me crazy” I said.
So, I started in the Atlantic to end up
Moving smoothly, sailing to the

Pacific.
