Grab the keys let’s get into the car Raring to go, we won’t travel too far Everything’s packed inside the car boot And I’ve meticulously planned our route To the seaside for a treat this bank holiday Everyone’s excited as we get on our way Soon we arrive at glorious golden sands Children hold buckets and spades in their hands As they dash to dip their toes in the warm sea Paddling and playing together so contentedly Enjoying their free time as a happy family Checked with rhymezone 01/12/20

This is such a fun write Jan, just what I was hoping for a cleverly disguised acrostic write. Congrats on a fine placement and thanks for entering!

Your wonderful poem back memories when my children were small and we headed for the beach with food in tow. I enjoyed this so much Jan, and I hope it does great in the contest. xxoo

Luckily, I can walk to the beach, but I have never forgotten Max Boyce's, "I see the sea and I want to wee" as the typical child's response! Well done, Jan! Aloha! Rico
