On This Serene Red Parasol Beach Day
Atop a rock, there sits a girl. A hat
adorns her head as she enjoys a chat
with her young friend beside the pretty bay
on this serene red parasol beach day.
I breathe the salty air in through my nose
and feel the warmth of sand between my toes.
I listen to the squawks of gulls at play
on this serene red parasol beach day.
I walk along the shore and reminisce
about lost love when I see sweethearts kiss
down by the water’s edge not far away
on this serene red parasol beach day.
My parasol is blue, but it will do
when finally I find the perfect view.
A towel I lay right here where I will stay
on this serene red parasol beach day
