Welcome Summer - A Day at the Beach.

What could possibly happen when you plan on having a blissful day at the beach?  It can be hazardous to your health with dangers lurking everywhere.  But who cares?  It's summer!

Of all the seasons, I love summer.

(The freeze of winter’s such a bummer!)

And I can put my brain away.

Peaches and plums and cherries so sweet.

Hot buttered corn on the cob’s a treat.

All lathered up with Coppertone Lotion

I walk toward the waves for a dip in the ocean.

The undertow carries me far away.

Will I survive 'til the end of this day?

Relax and float parallel with the shore.

Thank goodness it works – Momma’s tip du jour.

Sandwiches specially made by hand

Now gently sprinkled with grains of sand.

Iced tea, lemonade with lightly bruised mint.

The ice cubes have melted to barely a hint.

An ice cream cone to top off the day.

A little boy’s frisbee comes careening my way.

It slices my cone and makes it fly.

Gosh I’m relieved that it wasn’t my eye.

A day at the beach can be so much fun.

I’m red as a lobster – in fact, I’m well done.

Despite the calamities of the day

I still love summer – that’s all I can say.
