Oh how l love the beach!

l mean who doesn’t love getting sand

ln every existing nook and cranny

Or maybe if you’re lucky enough

You’ll leave with a jellyfish’s burning kiss


Why wouldn’t you want

To get pummeled over and over by waves

Gasping for air is all just part of the fun

And while you're trying to stay afloat

You might get a refreshing, rejuvenating drink

Of salt water and gritty sand


The greatest part of the beach

ls the ocean’s slimy fauna

You can wrangle an angler

Or come face to face with a tiger shark

Giving you a giant scar

To show off to your friends


Oh how l love the beach!

l sardonically proclaim

As my mother loads up the car

For another long, sandy day
