We couldn’t resist Taking a dip When we went to the coast
High tide sea was still and pure Lapping the sandy beach Beckoning softly
Cursing we had no swimmers We looked at each other And made up our minds in an instant
In we would go Just to feel the glow That comes from a swim In the icy floe.
Jeans and jumpers Were left stranded on the beach And bewildered walkers Watched us shiver
As we waded into the silvery blue One step, another, another No chance to change our minds In we go Wow, woop, weee, hieee Its’ cold but oh so…
I swim to warm myself You float and smile And we are in the glorious sea Whilst the walkers watch on in curiosity And children play with the sand And then, the treat Of hot coffee on the beach To warm us up It was such a lovely day
