Laden down with buckets and spades

Windbreaks, towels and togs

Overloaded with cases and bags

Pulling and hauling the dogs

 

Sandwiches, lemonade, crisps and buns

Cups and saucers and plates

Fold up tables, collapsible chairs

Relax! Isn’t life great!

 

The sun is out for half an hour

Everything eaten in haste

With seagulls hovering round the crowds

No food will go to waste

 

Skies turn grey, light grows dim

All is packed up fast

That glorious sun, it couldn’t be true

Was far too warm to last

 

Now its time for amusement arcades

Next thing on the day out list

Rides and games for Mum and kids

Dads just go and get pissed

 

Time for home, the kids are tired

And Dad is feeling sick

Mum has had enough for today

Let’s get this lot home quick.
