A forgetting child wake up from the nap,

Strawberry Daiquri
A pair of scissors
Some anger

in late afternoon taking playtime,
how visiting children in my line 
of vision gleefully hurled themselves

The sea and the Holiday Inn,
Where some of the guests are awfully fat,
And others are awfully thin,
Where the average age is a hundred and four,
