Sandals and socks

Sandals and socks

Stood stomach out
watching the waves hit the rocks
Proudly wearing my sandals and socks
courageously stood there
brazen and bold
won’t have a paddle though
too flipping cold

There’s not many of us left
we’re the salt of the earth
shall wear my Knotted hanky
for all that it’s worth
It’s an art you know
a knot in each corner
my wife’s convinced
I have a mental disorder

No day by the sea
is complete without chips
whilst my stomach
causes a partial eclipse
my wife gets annoyed
if I block out her sun ☀️
“get rid of that stomach!!”
“go for a run!”

I might take a stroll along the prom
have a couple of pints
whilst I’m gone
maybe watch footie
on the wide screen T.V.
Yep… a day by the seaside
is definitely for me..
