BEACH DAY POEM

I wriggled into my wetsuit with a struggle

I pulled it up with a heave and a juggle

I was ready first, waiting to go

Because everyone else, was going so slow

Finally we hurried over the bridge

I must admit, I was frightened a smidge

We lined up straight to get our boards

Hoping we’d break some surfing records

I got my board, the colour was blue

I knew that from last time, my talent had grew

We jumped in the water, and raced for the deep

The waves were waiting, preparing to leap

I found a good wave, and started to saddle

My board and then I started to paddle

The wave pushed me, slowly to shore

It boosted my confidence a little more

I started to stand, and thought I would fall

But what happened next, nobody would call

I balanced myself, and didn’t slow down

I didn’t tumble, or start to drown

I reached the shore and gave out a yell

“Woo Hoo!” and I felt quite swell

Who would have thought I could truthfully say

That I had caught 3 waves that day
