The Beach

On a sunny Summer's day when the sky is golden and blue,
two little girls put on their shoes.
Down the road, over the hill, they are heading for Queensville.
Hop out of the car with a 'squeach' and now you're at the beach.
Playing and laughing, so much fun when you are eating a yummy bun.
Swim and swim until you're tanned, like you are in a sunny land.
Tiny steps to the car, "Hey" said my sister, "Let's play on the monkey bars."
Dust and dust for clean feet we must.
In the car, salty and sleepy, hungry and weepy.
