Windy Day at the Lake--Cywydd llosgyrnog
Such a windy day at the beach!
Towels and chairs flew out of reach.
So we each ran for our stuff
and hurried to pack up the truck.
The sting of the sand kind of sucked.
Just our luck to have it rough.
Back at the cabin, comfort reigns.
our day at the lake quite a pain.
I'm too sane to try my luck
again, so I'll stay on dry land
away from the rain and rough sand
In my bland, calm house I'm stuck.
