Oh We Bring So Much Stuff!

Kids with surf boards,
'Boules' on the sand.
Buckets and spades 
and towels in hand.
Picnic hampers,
wind breaks and chairs.
Wind to fly kites,
a swim? 
Who dares!
The breeze that catches
the blue beach tent.
A 'selfie' with mum
and deck-chairs to rent.
The 'lycra' clad joggers,
so slim and so fit.
Two laps of the prom,
without sweating one bit!
Walking the dog,
and Granny too!
Grandads brought everything
possible to do!
There's rounders or cricket
and frisbies and more!
Not surprising he could barely,
shut the car door!
Wet from the sea,
now here's a skill!
'neath an extra large towl
to change is the drill!
Your modesty to maintain,
don't stumble on the sand!
just dry and get changed
keeping everything 'in hand!'
There are dogs of all shapes
and of every kind.
Some big and some bouncy,
no more could you find!
Oh we bring so much stuff,
the kitchen sink and all,
the 'tents' and the dog,
and the bat and the ball!
We get it unpacked,
then claim our piece of sand...
and everything's done
...with our 'mobiles' in hand!

I'm rather partial 
to an eclipse! I need space 
in my life right now.

The bins went out yet
collection wasn't made. Re-
recycling required.
