Twas in the month of June when
we took a journey to the sea
It was wet and it was windy
and it took its toll on me!
I was dressed in my bikini with
just a flimsy dress on top
But the wind and rain were howling
and all day it didn’t stop!
Since we had travelled such a long way
we were determined to have fun
So we bowed our heads together and
we prayed we’d get some sun.
We thought that we had cracked it
when those clouds they rolled away
Yet still we got a soaking from the waves
and from the Ocean spray!
I was sinking to my middle in all
that wet and squidgy sand
With the weather we were having
there was no hope of ever getting tanned!
We couldn’t eat our picnic ‘cos all
our buns they blew away
Man! I have to tell you - that was
one really awful day!
Usually an ice-cream would have
made our day complete
But all the shops had shut and there
was not a soul upon the street!
All the hopes that I had had to
buy a hat with funny band
Or to frolic with a beach-ball on
the hot and golden sand
Were dashed that day in June
when we went down to the sea
Instead I’ve got the shivers,
shakes and sniffles and now
I need a little
TLC!
