Took the kids to the lake, today,
tempertures in the 30's,
sky cloudless and blue.
my sun tan oil, I took too.
Don't want to look, like
a lobster, it's not in fashion,
looking pale , is also out,
so have to go for a healthy tan,
and leave you in no doubt.
The water was murkey, but we
did not care,as long as it was
warm, we were happy there.
I did not swim too far out,
I have to see the shore,
feel the ground beneath my feet.
Any deeper, and I feel faint,
not the best way to be,
stranded in the sea.
The kids and I had a fun day out,
a good time was had by all,
only now a few hours later,
I am starting to burn,
the lobster look, is back in,
at least untill the morn,
when I hope the tan will come,
and I am not so sore.
