The Smell of the Sea

The stink in Belize from the incoming breeze wasn’t hard to believe for the season.
See, the seaweed would ride upon each brand new tide. The smell of sargassum’s the reason.
It will smell of old eggs whether you stretch your legs or go swimming or look at the sea.
It is there day and night. If a lock there’s to fight this biothreat exists, there’s no key.

It made holidays glum to arrive after summer, since the water gets hard to approach.
If you want to get near it. You have to not fear it, and it smells very much like a roach.
So the tourists come less to economy’s distress, to cause coffers’ dismay. No surprise.
A solution must come, but so far there is none. And so hope dwindles before our own eyes!
