Beach People

Watching people, my balcony view

‘Twas sunny day and the gathering grew

Blankets, chairs and umbrellas for shade

Kids bring along bucket and spade

For many this is a major event

Lounge pillows, freezer, elaborate tent

Babies blissfully playing in the sand

Cute couples walking hand in hand

Big waves come roaring to add to the fun

Screaming, get drenched, then dry off in the sun

Youngsters play volleyball, lots of beach games

Posting pictures on Facebook and link all the names

Music from somewhere, they’re having a party

The laughter floats up, it’s happy and hearty

People lounging around, cocktails in the tent

Sunset approaching and beach day is spent

Hey, I’m on balcony, viewing too much

I’ll run down to talk and mingle and touch
