A Wistful Dream

There in the distance a choppy sea
a forgotten bucket and spade floating
dream of a cherished memory

football or cricket with dad they played
mum basking in the sun on her deckchair
plenty of sun and fun now time for a ice-cream

a time to eat fish and chips the best treat
walk along the piers up the tower
dreams so long ago will go back some day

[Daphne]

A lovely poem. Would you like me to create a special file for your poetic output? I SHALL!

[Fraser Allonby Q.C.]

Fish and chips on the beach?
Only OK if in an old newspaper, to get the real smell of the seaside: newsprint, fat, cod, vinegar, chips, salt and all washed down with a bottle of lukewarm India Pale Ale.
