Chapter (7) SUNDAY AT THE SEASIDE

PLEASE leave a review.

Sunday At The Seaside

 

We spent Sunday at the Seaside

My bruvvers, Gary, Nick and me

My dad he took us in the car

We arrived at half past three.

 

We'd left the house at ten a.m.

Our old car creaked and groaned.

We broke down only twice this time

My mum she moaned and moaned.

 

Poor dad he changed the tyres

And repaired the spark plugs too

Dear mum she stood and criticised

And told him what to do.

 

We parked the car and took our coats

And an umbrella for the rain.

Mum took our swimsuits just in case

The sun came out again.

 

So there we sat on a cold wet beach

Eating sandwiches with sand

Dad bought ice creams and lemon pop

Mum said "Now this is grand."

 

We really loved the seaside

My bruvvers, Gary, Nick and me.

We loved the freezing feeling

Of walking bare foot in the sea.

 

The family treat we all enjoyed

Our special summer wish,

Was eating out of newspaper

Fried chips with battered fish.

 

We're back at home and all worn out

We got sand in socks and hair.

We'd like to do it all again

That's if the car will get us there.

Your humorous storytelling poetry is always such a delight to read. You teach readers to love reading!

[MAD ENGLISHMAN]

Thank you my dear friend. I must get back to writing again. Been to busy at work.

[MomzillaNC]

I need to get back to writing too. I’ve been ill for so long now. I haven’t really written anything in months.

[Nila M.]

I love your style! Everything you write has a great lyrical quality and really carries the reader a long. I really think that I've had a smile on my face through every piece I've read by you. I mean that as a great compliment to the tone you evoke and the stories you tell. Very unique and charming voice!

[MAD ENGLISHMAN]

I wish I could bottle your comments. I'd make a fortune in book sales.
Thank you so much for your continued support in my work.

This brings to mind memories of Hunstanton as a very young child. Cold wet beaches, amusement arcades, fish and chips; but most of all the family all together. lovely!

[MAD ENGLISHMAN]

Thank you Beccy. yes We visited Hunstanton too. Great days.

[Marie]

It sounds as if you had fun, despite the problems and the cold. How did you batter the fish? With your sand shovels?

[Confuser]

Mad Englishman: I really enjoyed it....it's funny and the flow of the poem is great. It brought back memories of childhood trips...The vivid images you brought forth are lovely...and it's certainly very relateable! Thank you so much. Great writing....Dale

I enjoyed it all: but the verse above is one of my favorites...the sun came out again. Keep writing; you are talented!!!

[MAD ENGLISHMAN]

Thank you so much for a great review. I do enjoy writing these silly little stories. They are taken from life, I dread to think how many times we sat on a wet beach in raincoats.

[Confuser]

You're quite welcome...raincoats on the beach...it's really funny...loved the writing..

[ANTO]

Oh you painted many a jaunt of our family to the 'beach' - the miles of pebbles - lol

MadEnglishMan, I love how you rewind and speak as a youngster again with the language and the POV of a kid
"We parked the car and took our coats
And an umbrella for the rain.
Mum took our swimsuits just in case
The sun came out again." - this summed up every day trip I ever went on.
So many memories you stirred - wonderful memories - cold memories that are surprisingly warming.
Great penmanship my friend,
Thanks for the RR :))

[MAD ENGLISHMAN]

Thank you my friend. I do appreciate your comments. I'm so pleased this little poem caused you to remember some good memories.

[Michael G.]

Absolutely lovely and fascinating. On days as such here by my little stretch of sea, the locals stay indoors while the vacationers shop. A very wonderful and witty write, sir.

[MAD ENGLISHMAN]

Much appreciated sir. I'm happy you enjoyed it.
