BEACH BUMS

Beaches crowded
With tan seeking,
Ageless people

Sun beats down upon
The many bodies dressed
Only in bathing suits and sand

Suntan lotion is applied
Eyes focus through dark glasses
Children laugh and play

The ocean is cool
In the hot temperature
Ideal for the many swimmers

A volleyball net is set up
Two teams are divided
A violent game erupts

Sand castles built by children
Parents buried in the sane
End of day brings an end to fun
