Jan Allison Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

IMAGE USED WITH KIND PERMISSION FROM THE ARTIST - EVE ROPER

Carefree Days of Childhood

Today we are having fun at the sea
Mummy and daddy, Tommy and me.
White topped waves tickle our toes
Salty sea water splashes our clothes.
Mummy and daddy are relaxing on the beach
Tommy and I play happily, not far out of reach.
The weather is cold and clouds block the sun,
still nothing will stop us all having some fun.
Daddy has a net and we searched in a rock pool
We found a crab and sea shells, the water was cool.
Mummy has packed a picnic for us to eat,
how I am enjoying our beach day treat.
I hope the clouds disappear and the sun peeps through
then we can enjoy the beach beneath skies so blue.
We can’t rely on the weather even thought it’s June
it was fun being together and we can come back soon.
