A simple poem

The cat, the dog and me
Went for a day by the sea
Stopping at a seaside cafe
I purchased a cup of tea

We strolled along the sandy beach
Watching boats sailing out of reach
The cat did a few loud meows
And my pocket hid a rotten old peach

The waves crashed against darken rocks
I felt sweat in my new woollen socks
Bark went the dog at a seagull
As a ship moored into the old docks

We saw goths, transvestites and punks with braces
All wearing heels and boots with bright laces
The cat curled up on my head
And the dog did foul things in awkward places

The moon has now shown her silver frown
As were waiting for the train to come down
Oh what an amazing and wonderful day
We’ve had in this marvellous seaside town
