Seagulls and Sunshine

School is out.
Summer's come.
Go to the beach for lots of fun.

Beach balls splashing
'cross the white capped waves,
hotdogs, ketchup,
lemonade.

The taste of salt fills the air,
Greasy sunblock in your hair,
Cool water at your toes,
How long we'll be here, no one knows.

The sun's warmth hits the sand
Which burns your foot but not your hands.
Loud music from the band
Peoples' footprints in the sand.

Palm trees swaying in the breeze,
freezing water at your knees,
yourists asking,"Picture please!''
As they smilingly say, "Cheese!"

Walking back to the car,
People laughing, "Harty, ha, ha!"
Wet sand on your feet,
By the time it's off, we'll be beat.

Driving home
It won't be far,
Babies sleeping
In the car.,

Seagulls flying overhead,
It won't be long 'till we're in bed,
"Goodnight sweetie," mama said.
On my pillow I rest my head.

Now that we're not at the beach,
The summer sunshine out of reach
Summer's over, autumn's come
Snowflakes soon for everyone
