Hip hip hooray, I’m on my holiday; at our beach chalet; it’s called Castaway! It is here I stay with my best friend Faye; on soft sand we lay, I could tan all day! Boats bob and sway, we watch them sail away I get soaked from sea spray down at the bay!

oh gosh, I was thinking of doing AY rhyme but it only seems to lend itself to seaside rhymes and then I will like like I am imitating you. haha. That contest of his is filling up WAY too fast but good news for me. Joe is late tonight and I get to hurry and catch up here (poor guy. it's SNOWING in Wyoming and they shut down the freaking freeway!!)

I wrote about 15 lines in my notebook at work on Thursday then played with the lines once I got home and managed to precis it down to the final poem. I'm still not entirely happy with the final line and will work on it if I have time:-) hugs Jan xx

I momentarily forgot that you people call vacation "holiday". You did a superb job with this, Jan. I've been playing with one (a poem, don't be gross) and struggling with the internal rhyme. You managed it in a free flowing fashion that took us with you to the bay. Where was this poem when I was locked up??? :)

Thanks for your lovely comment Phillip - I wrote the outline of the poem today at work. In total there were about 15 lines but I was just playing with the and rhyme and got to the end result which I am happy with ... I thought your mum sent you my poop poems when you were away!:-) hugs jan xx
