Fun In the Sun

Flesh on show and sun tan lotion bodies laid on towels or sun lounges By the ocean Salty air wind blown hair Music streaming from the near by fair Baby screaming nappies full Cool guys looking for babes on the pull Sun shades and floppy hats Grown men playing cricket with ball and bats Sand castles and buckets and spades Candy floss and lemonade Father With binoculars pretending to look out to sea Or read a newspaper but really looking at the bathing beauties Bikinis and manknies G strings tight where the sun don't shine Hot dogs and hamburgers the popping of corks from bottles of wine Hairy legs and wrinkled skin child almost drowning couldn't swim Muscle bound Life guards with muscles to impress Granma lost her false teeth Dropped between her breasts Ice creams and summer dreams Young child peeing in the sea Among the swimmers splashing about with glee People playing beach ball and football Mother calls come on all it's time for tea Large Busty woman running like jelly on a plate Wobble wobble And nearly starting an earthquake Sand between your toes Sun burn on your nose Sweaty arm pits sweaty bums Toffee apples and bleeding gums Sea gulls flying screeching high above Clear blue sky pure white dove Watching the frothy waves stretch upon the shore Watching the horizon and tiny boats 10 miles away or more Dogs running here and there Sweets being passed around to share Crabs and shrimps and other critters in a rocky pool Children with fishing nets and jars to take them back to school Para gliders pulled by speed boats high in the sky Oh why do people want to risk life As they could die Postcards to write people on there bikes The smell of fish and chips Children with jam around their lips Couples walking hand in hand barefoot on warm sand Treasured memories and photo's to cherish Suitcases packed feeling unwound and relaxed Can't wait until next year when they come back.
