Oh To Be In Spain

Tuesday morning, end of May

Sun is in the sky

Time to get away

Time to say goodbye.

 

Sun tan cream from Boots

Sun shades, sandals, glasses

Passport at the ready

Join migrating masses.

 

Lying on the beaches

Long and restful days

Watching gulls and gannets

Through the shimmering haze.

 

Sound of sea and laughter

Children having fun

Red and brown bare bodies

Basking in the sun.

 

Cloudless skies by day

Starlit sky at night

Tideless blue green water

Makes a magic sight.

 

The magic has been broken

The curtain has come down

I'm not in warm Majorca

But a smoke filled dirty town.
