Neil Milliner (Australia)

Hand in hand along the strand
Onto the long and sandy beach
A swim, some fun, a lie down in the sun
Until we both get the notion:
Better get back to the kiosk and buy
Some jolly sun-tan lotion
And for a while we'll loiter there
A long while, don't you think?
We'll have a snack
A hamburger perhaps?
An ice-cream and a drink
Back down to the beach we go
No hurry as we roam
Stay and watch the sun go down
Then we slowly wander home
