L Milton Hankins Poet Lyric

Sandy Beaches - a Parody

I'm dreaming of the sandy beaches
Just like the ones I’ve seen before,
Where the surf is rising,
With lovers surmising,
While kayakers skim along the shore.

I’m dreaming of the sandy beaches
With every poem today I write
Hoping you have good weather up here
If I think of you,
I’ll shout a quick “Good night!”

[Repeat]

I'm dreaming of those sandy beaches
With every poem today I write
Of my presence here please do not lose sight
And may your holidays be bright! 

Written December 10, 2022
[with a special nod to Irving Berlin,
a parody of his "White Christmas"]
