Visit To The Seaside Poem by Tony Sandy

Visit To The Seaside

Rating: 5.0

Half past nine - 
Hope the train's on time!  

Half past ten - 
Here we go again!  

Half past eleven - 
On our way to Devon. 

Half past twelve - 
Rock pools in which to delve

Half past one - 
Life's just so much fun!  

Half past two - 
Dad says it's time for a brew

Half past three - 
I wonder what's for tea?  

Half past four - 
We're out of the door!  

Half past five - 
We all feel so alive!  

Half past six - 
Off to see the flicks

Half past seven - 
This is my idea of heaven 

Half past eight - 
Tomorrow is coming and
I just can't wait!

Half past nine, your rhymes were just fine. Half past ten, start all over again. Fun!

Yes this was in the same kind of vein as John Betjamin or Pam Ayres - light and frivolous

My wife and I visited Scotland [ I was 'Screaming and Kicking', (the title of my latest poem here) . ] We boated to an island where Mary Queen of Scots lived for her protection in her teens.

TRY to control your ENTHUSIASM Mr. Sandy! ! All too soon you shall be 'over the hill' (old or at least worn out) and ready for a rocking chair; mine does not rock.

I bought a kit for one years ago in my twenties. Unfortunately it was poorly made and had to have bits chopped off to fit properly and glued together to hold bits in place

Now to read your poem.... btw, Belle is not a bad one to comment on your poem. She and I both enjoy humor, which you mentioned also in your bio here. : )

I have a fanzine editor, who grimaces at my puns and groans at my misery (you haven't seen all I've written yet, especially The Christmas epic)
