Fifty Words

The Promenaders - Joan Bond

Watching the promenaders
well mostly OAPs
Listening to the orchestra
at the spa down by the sea
Twas a beautiful day, in fact very hot
and sat behind the glass, such a stoic lot
they stuck it out, for they'd had to pay
and money is money, they'd not walk away.



(But the music was grand and we also had tea
It was just great, at the spa by the sea.)
