Beach Misery

If you must suffer at the beach, There are some ways to ease the pain. Though some of these seem out of reach, Just listen and I will explain. A rental on the waterfront Will keep your foe within your sight. There can be no surprises, thus, When in your view both day and night. It’s preferable to have a pool And thus avoid the wretched sand. An edge that meets infinity Can help to shift from grim to grand. You’ll need some private parking spots In shade and with secluded stairs To stay cool when you must go out Avoiding the unwanted glares. A house with panoramic views Will be utilized the most. An A/C that you can abuse, Avoiding heat down on the coast. The main thing that you’ll want to bring: Grandkids packed in everywhere. They will make that awful beach Somewhat easier to bear.

That is so true, Jeff. The grandkids make it worthwhile. I do so enjoy the ocean, but not so much the sticky, prickly sand. The last time I went, I spent most of my time lying on the patio under an umbrella. But, the sound of the sea made it all worthwhile. Happy trails!
