On my vacation in Key West,
Photographing the lighthouse was my quest,
Back and forth I walked to find that perfect view,
As I thought of its history and the lady keeper, too,

The stories of their lives I often told
The best were of my daddy, Keeper McDowd.

And headed out for the sea and sand,
Leaving behind my flip flops on the lawn.

Throw in some lighthousing and I'll be as happy as can be.
