A Seaside Ditty

An old favourite of mine ….

A Seaside Ditty

I went down to the seaside
Played bingo on the Pier
Looked at saucy postcards
Drank lots of lukewarm beer
Staggered along the Promenade
Fighting gale-force wind and rain
Ate soggy chips and battered fish
Supped lots more beer again

I went into the fun-fair
On all the thrilling rides
Till I went green and queasy
And threw up my insides
So now the day is over
And all my money spent
I’ll try to think of a good excuse
To explain my missing rent!

I enjoy reading, creative writing (I have several eBooks available via Amazon [Kindle], iBooks, Barnes & Noble [Nook]), watching TV and am an armchair sports fan. I retired from the Civil Service in July 2016 after 13 years; before that I worked in the private sector for industries as diverse as Finance, Fashion, Fuel, and Space! My partner died in 2015 and he was a former squaddie but was a civvie when I met him in 1997.
