The Beach

If you can reach a sandy beach, It’s really quite relaxing. A seagull’s screech or dripping peach Might pass for something taxing. The sun beats down, your skin turns brown; The surfers ride their boards in. A seaside town precludes a frown And heaps lots of rewards in. So if you can, work on your tan And make a daytime visit, For every man becomes a fan In setting so exquisite.

A double rhyming poem like this, we truly do beseech. You show the pleasure's in this life without having to preach. Peace. :)

Hi Ilene! I enjoyed this tempting poem, even for one like me who goes swimming every day. Have a nice weekend...on the beach, if possible! // paul
