SALAD DAYS

Summers long ago , never seemed to end ,

The sun always shone , it never seemed to ,

Rain ,

Sky's always blue , never a cloud could be,

Seen ,

Down on the sands , riding a donkey,

Eating ice cream , a 99 with flake ,

having a picnic , sandwiches ,

Cheese , egg , strawberry jam ,

Sand crunching as we eat ,

Washed down with a bottle of pop ,

Tea from a flask ,

Bucket and spade , flags of all nations ,

Building sandcastles ,

Splashing , swimming ,

The sea never cold that I can recall ,

Becoming as red as lobster ,

Brown as as berry ,

Jumping in to the harbour ,

Off the east pier ,

Going fore a spin in the speed boat fury ,

All day spent having fun ,

Enjoying the summer ,

Salad days.

Hi Ken...you sound a bit like Gershwin...
"Summertime...And the living is easy
Fish are jumping and the cotton is high"

Just think, you are the first Brit to ever sound like Gershwin
