Beach Trip

I asked my mother if we might
Off to the seashore go.
She said; "my dear, of course we may
But we must pack, you know.

A cooler for our soda pop,
A sandwich and a snack,
A lotion bottle for your nose,
Another for your back.

A jacket if it's cold outside,
Some shorts in case it's hot,
A surfboard if the waves are big,
A beach-ball if they're not.

A colorful umbrella, and
A beach mat made of foam..."
You know, I think I'd rather stay
Right here, and play at home.
