~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As children scream in fun and play
They frolicked on the beach all day
The tides they've watched go out then in
Sun cream is rubbed upon their skin
While parents use the bronzing spray
Here Seagulls are the birds of prey
Beaks snatch your lunch and fly
It might as well be in the bin
As children scream
A gentle walk around the bay
Your face, it feels the misty spray
Sees horror for your next of kin
Cuts through the waves a dorsal fin
So proudly shown off on display
As children scream
