Poetry: A day at the beach

by David Hebblethwaite

Created on: April 04, 2009

Quality Time

Can I have an ice-cream
Can I have a doughnut
Can I have a ride
In a red and yellow speedboat

Can we look in rock pools
For limpets, shrimp and crabs
Can I keep them in my bucket
Can I please, please can I Dad

I wanna ride on a donkey
I wanna paddle in the sea
I wanna build a sand castle
Please Dad will you help me

Watch me in the sea Dad
Watch me I can swim
The water's really warm Dad
Aren't you coming in

Can I play crazy golf
And have a go on the slide
There's a little train over there
Can I go and have a ride

It's been a great day today
But I'm glad I'm in my bed
I'll see you in the morning
Goodnight, and thanks Dad
