Day At the Beach

Day At The Beach   

Beautiful girls go bouncing by
Each suit designed to catch the eye
Ample bodies lean and tanned
Catch rays while lounging on the sand
Heavenly bodies to be sure
Before the young men they demure
Laughing, teasing, acting coy
Attempting to attract a boy
Neath their amber colored glasses
Keeping score as each boy passes
Emotions rising like the tide
Trying seriously to decide
Between the varied beach-boys who
Intentionally show off near you
Never letting on that they
Get giddy when you look their way
Oh if you'd just come out and play

Yes indeed. The game plays out all year round in one setting or another with these youngsters. Remember the old song: "I was looking back to see if you were looking back to see if I was looking back to see if you were looking back at me....." Really cute little rhyme here. God Bless, JB
