Summer Doth Approach...

Weather changing,
Tourists ranging,
The ocean for the shoobies itself arranging...


Poem Artwork

The temperatures about to rise,
I have tears in my eyes,
I already “miss” the winter weather,
My allergies killing me with drifting Scots heather…

Do you remember the snow,
The white as it did in the wind blow,
The summer is approaching,
The tourists on my favorite beach encroaching…

Permission I did not give,
To those that don’t live,
On my island home so tiny,
Mother oceans scent so briny…

Summer? Oh yes, that's when the rain is a bit warmer.
No-matter, have fun fun fun in the sun sun sun.

Hmmm. The Scot's are always to blame.

A fellow from Jersey named Ed,

Lives by the sea it is said;

Akin with the briny,

He gets all whiny,

When the tourists get in his head.



There! A limerick just off the top of my head for you. Lol! Love and peace,

Pound a sign into the ground and write this upon it. "Stay the hell off my beach!" It's just that simple.

Love ya!

Now I know why you are so whiny. Those tourists… Have stolen your peace and quiet down by the briny.

Each summer you get on this, and yes I understand tourist can be very destructive to your pristine beaches, et al. Still, they come bringing money which keeps the city's budget in good shape. If I lived there I might be singing the same blues song, but I somehow pretty much doubt it. My take on it would probably be the tourists were a necessary evil, filling the pockets of most store owners and litter-bugging the beach.

I empathise with you on the invasion of your little isle by tourists who dip in then out ..changing your environment in the process...and not understanding this is your home ALL year round...
...Allergies are horrible things too...and their symptoms difficult to cope with..
Scots heather...? As I'm from UK I'm interested here...do you have it growing in your area?
