A day at the beach

Its off to the beach on a hot summers day,

to surf the surf, and have a great play.

We pack everything and get in the car,

wow the beach isn’t so far.

We get there, unpack and put on sunscreen
a hat on our head

hear the lifeguard scream,

"Shark, Shark everyone out!"
this way and that way we all ran about.

Once the commotion had all died down
and the lifeguard had checked if anyone drowned,

we then saw a kid with a fin on his back.

His mother came over and gave him a wack.

We had the ok to go back in,

so we grabbed our boards and ran in,

for a good swim.
