Delightful Edit

I made one change.
And then I shuddered
(with delight).
I kept that edit.

I made one change and shuddered with delight. I kept the edit.

I kept the one that made me shudder.

I coulda made-a dugout, and took it to sea
I coulda made-a dugout, and took it to sea
I coulda made-a dugout, and took it to sea

Paraphernalia

Handling my driftwood, Dad says
if I hadn’t broke that chunk out
I coulda made-a dugout,

(the shock
remains after
he finishes)

“and took it to sea.”
