This is just for fun. It's one of my favorite poems from my book "Dressed Inside Out." Hope you enjoy.






I like to enjoy life

I like to be care free

But I can never be that way

Because people mess with me

 

I went to the nearest beach

To have some great fun

I was looking for a nice spot

So I could relax in the sun

 

I saw a place I wanted

But someone was already there

So I accidentally kicked some sand

And it got into their hair

 

These ill mannered people

Jumped up from their towels

And sand fell everywhere

And at me they began to howl

 

Now being even tempered

I didn’t want to linger

I walked away from their curses

And simply flipped them the finger

 

As I said before

I like to enjoy life

But mean people always seem

To want to five me strife

 

 

So thus ended my day

Of having fun in the sun

With sandy people chasing me

I decided my day at the beach was done

Light and funny. But when i read it again and put myself deeper in each line, i decided that you are right. Life, indeed is like a bad day at the beach. Sometimes, you have too much on your hands and craves for much-needed break, but can't, simply because of unwanted factors that life puts in front of you. This is a simple yet very meaningful piece. Thank you for sharing.

Be well,
Sheri

Some people just have no manners. I would have gotten an ice cream cone and accidently dropped in on their sunning backs. OOPS, my vengeful side is showing! Great piece!

I'd write a long review, but first I have to find the word rabble-rouser in my dictionary.
Never mind, I found it.

Oh, my! "If the shoe fits..."

This was fun, Elizabeth.
