Surf, between susurrus and a roar,
seagull acrobats gamboling o’er,
pelican squadrons out on patrol,
sandpiper shore cops in jerking stroll,
thunderstorms gone for several hours,
sun now out to exert its powers,
all form the backdrop behind the play:
"Grandkids and Cousins on Holiday".
Is this play comedy or drama?
Maybe both: There's a bit of trauma,
but also, gales of friendly laughter.
One kid sulks, as if naught were dafter
than chatting with a same-age cousin;
but fun prevails among our dozen,
despite the sting of jellyfish burn.
Beautiful day with little concern.
