Down the Jersey Shore

Winding lines of cars
Stop and go on black paved roads
Driving down the shore

Bright umbrellas pose
Sitting on a sandy beach
Lolling in the sun

The smell of hot dogs 
salty air and creosote
Float in mid-day air

Little children play
building castles made of sand
near a deep blue sea

A delightful book
Floppy hat and Coppertone
Fill a summer day

A red setting sun
Sunburned skin and tires eyes
Tell it's time to leave

Tail lights glowing red
pinned against a blacked sky
Guide the way back home
