See Sea

See Sea

A donkey ride and ice cream kicks
A stick of rock and lick your lips
Now I'll scoff a bag of chips
As high time tide begins to rip
Life's moans and troubles may undo
From a clifftop lighthouse view

It rains quite often when I'm there
But I see sea so I don't care
I bedeck myself in a chair
And swallow gulps of salty air
And candy floss is tempting fare
For a lonely seagulls hungry stare

Once you've been you need some more
To see the shore just to make sure
Your eyes and ears are soaked and steeped
With memories all stored to keepĀ 
In your shorts and plastic macĀ 
You wave farewell, the sea waves back.

I like the simple enjoyment of these lines - so easily
placed alongside my own from days at the coast. The
rhyming may be slightly loose but the overall feeling is
- like the pleasures it portrays - rather satisfying.
