Salcombe 19 #2

by

On annual pilgrimage are we
South southwest with the family
With blow-up boat, a son and daughter
Just itching to get on the water
Their families love Baba’s ferry
To take them ‘cross the estuary
Filling the boat with buckets and stuff
Until I tell them “That’s enough!”
Back from the beach it’s ices all
“Lick them quick or drips will fall!”
Little ones with messy faces
Having fun in this great oasis
A place of memories galore
Next year we’ll be back for even more!
(The only thing to spoil the view
Is windows streaked with seagull poo!)

    Thanks Drew. It’s amazing how much those critters carry behind their bomb doors!
