COTTAGE BY THE SEA !

BRIAN & ANGELA



 

 

I REMEMBER The TREE where I used to swing

Ganpa's records by Mister Bing

On a wonderful ~ wind-up ~ wire-less thing

In the Cottage by the SEA !

 

I REMEMBER My KITE that reached the skies 

The seagulls with their plaintive cries

The taste of Ganma's apple pies

In the Cottage by the SEA !

 

I REMEMBER a GIRL ~ whose name was CHRIS

Who always tasted of liquorice

The abandoned Boat where we used to KISS

In the Cottage by the SEA !

 

I REMEMBER The Church with its musty smell

And the boring bong of its broken Bell

The Preachers who always warned of HELL

In the Cottage by the SEA !

 

I hope that you've enjoyed my STORY

Grandparents who always voted TORY

To earn their place with GOD in GLORY

And a Cottage by the celestial  SEA !

 

Thanks for visiting ~ comments welcome ~ Love BRIAN XOX

                  • Jane Frye

                    The poems that write themselves, just flow from our fingertips on the keyboard, always turn out to be the best poems.
