End of Season

No Kiss me Quicks, no giggling girls,
no candy floss, no strawberry swirls,
no shuggy boats or bright blue skies
no donkey rides or coconut shies,
no arcade fun, no fishing off the pier,
no slot machines, no ginger beer.
November blues, an empty prom,
to sunny Spain they’ve all moved on.

:) The end of the pier Peter! The seventies saw the beginning of the end of the resorts we once knew and loved. The rhythm of your great poem reminded me of that 'Only Fools and Horses' theme tune. :) Cheers - Gary

I like this poem. Terse, lilting, simple, yet beautiful.
