Skeggy Poem by Kevin Eaglesfield

Jack's just been to Africa,
Snakes and lions and all that.
Eddie went to Disneyland-I saw his Mickey hat.
Rob's dad took him skiing,
Until he broke his leg,
But just you wait, it's my turn soon,
Next week we're off to Skeg.
My friends didn't even see the sea,
No paddling-what a shock.
No fish and chips or donkey rides,
Not even sticks of rock.
No deckchairs, football on the beach
Or sandcastles with flags.
No gritty picnics in the dunes,
Or candyfloss in bags.
No dodgems, pier or fairy lights-
They made them go, I guess.
They'll all think I'm a lucky lad
When we've been to Skegness.
