SKEGNESS

Today we walked together hand in hand
For miles and miles, we strolled in the sand.
We had the beach all to ourselves not a soul to be seen.
It was like being in paradise, a dream.
The sun shone brightly, the sky was blue.
A couple of day's with nothing to do.
We picked up pebbles, and threw them into the sea.
What a great place this is to be.
Time to switch off from the worries and cares of life.
Time to be, just a wife.
Then off to the cafe, for our bacon, eggs, tomatoes, coffee and toast.
This really is the best value, on the coast.
It costs 99p each person for the lot.
It was even served piping hot.
Where is this place, where I've had so much fun.
The place for me, come rain or sun.
The place that helped, so much when my life was in a mess.
The Tranquillisers, the Agoraphobia, causing such distress.
For me paradise on earth, is Skegness.
