Keeping Informed




SHADOW SHOT
http://heyharriet.blogspot.com/2010/01/shadow-shot-sunday-86.html

KEEPING INFORMED!


Children screaming like things let free.
The wild waves roaring on the rolling sea.
The sea-gulls swooping with a noisy screech.
The loud kerfuffle of the summer beach.
Leave me be, let me read my paper,
Away from any noisy caper.
Grandfathers have the right to refuse
To be tempted away from the daily news.

Too much news here:

    Hi Brenda,
    Just dropped in from the SSS meme and had to say I think your photo & poem are fab.
    BTW we share the same surnmae.

    Once I was a cheerful bloke,
    Easy with a quip or joke.
    Everything was going grand
    Until I came here to the sand.
    Now I sit beside the beach,
    With sun and waves in easy reach,
    Sad because I can't harass
    The kids back playing on my grass.

    Well. That is genuinely awful.

    Yours is quite nice.

    Cheers!

    What could be better than summer at the beach? The only thing missing is the cup of coffee.

    Your poem is perfect, Brenda. That could be my father-in-law sitting there. He was fanatical about reading the news.

    Love the poem to go along with your beach photo.

    I'd love a bit of warmth right about now. And I'm not even a beach person!
