Day By the Sea

Fish and chips salty air Big fat bottoms sat on stripy deck chairs Sticks of rock candy floss and bottles of soda pop Sand castles and buckets and spades Dad with binoculars pretending to look out to sea But looking at the bikini hot babes Little child paddles in the sea Little child has a pee Ice cream and jellyfish Punch and Judy ventriloquists Bare flesh everywhere sea breeze tussles hair Walruses laid on beach towels everywhere Courting couples walking hand in hand Games of cricket and Beach ball on the sand Annoying music steaming from someone's radio A scream goes out as a crab bites someone's toe The smell of suntan lotion mixed with sweat And the smell of cigarettes Waves rolling upon the shore A baby wanting it's diaper changing lets out a might roar Burgers and hot dog's from a van Guy's with muscles parading the beach as though saying to the girls Look at me I'm all real man As the girls giggle and wiggle As the hot Sun smiles down On a day by the sea.

The story like quality brings a friendly feeling to the reader and we can almost hear the ocean waves and feel the blazing sun heating up the sand at the beach as you guide us on a journey through your memories. Well written. Emile. #7

Now that is a day at the beach...I have a confession when I got out of college. myself and 9 of my closest friend had season tickets to the Blackhawks Hockey games. We would bring binoculars and scan the crowd...passing them back and forth between us
