A day out special,
take the road going eastwards,
until we see sea.
The north sea looks dark,
some would say dirty, it’s not,
but it’s very cold.
We went to Clacton,
my grandparents used to go,
when my mum was young.
Three quid for a ride,
one minute of going round,
and some up and down.
It made us tired,
fish and chips, and sea air,
and the journey home.
