==========

He wanders along the shore
To see just what's in store,
What driftwood will he find
Or shiny shells if he's inclined?
Perhaps a faded soccer ball
Wilson's face not big or small.
Backpack full returning home,
The proximal cause of this poem.
"Don't bring back any more!"
Long-suffering wife will implore.
