Weston-Super-Mare

The sun is always shining
In Weston-Super-Mare;
At least it always has been
Whenever we've been there.

The beach is nice and sandy,
It's long and clean and wide;
The trouble is it's full cars...
Unless there is a tide.

We haven't been there too much
Because it's quite a drive,
We first must go to Taunton,
Then on to the M five.

It takes about an hour,
Depending on our speed;
Then when we're there and parked up
We usually have a feed.

The place is full of sea-gulls
Just as you would expect;
There's nothing that they won't eat,
There's nothing they'll reject.

They dive and swoop like gannets,
(Another big sea-bird)
And once they ate my sandwiches,
The ones with lemon-curd.

The sun is always shining
In Weston-Super-Mare;
The reason is quite simple:
It's summer when we're there!
