Riverside Beauty

Riverside,
I was wonder how anglers do sleep on sandy at the riverside
One time in my life, I try when I was ten year as trying it
At my best though it is was not easily
I slept while my hands are on my ears
I fear sand entering into my ears as I hear, people whispering to each other ears

Riverside,
It is the best place for water body creatures
It is because of its environment 
It makes them to run fast and laid eggs and bury them
Yes, it is on the sand is where water creatures like crocodile
They laid their 

 Riverside
It is where boys and girls can see each other’s
In our riverside no mixing when playing crocodile play
For that game is for boys but not girls
Only boys knew the best part of it but girls 
Can be enjoy speed that boys use

Riverside 
It is the best to expose you for other
I see the brave do
 But coward people fear to join groups
I learn good thing on it as we end up enjoying the sunshine 

Riverside
At winter, we all need sunshine and the sun make us to roasted like smoke fish
It is why we are darken in our skins
We get our darkness at the riverside
Because it is dark and that is why sings songs
Yes, to let darkness go and we remain as black like black sea
