AT THE C-SEA-SIDE
When the sehoolbell stops its clangour, And the teachers cease to chide, How the children lose their languor At the C t Sea-side. Let the sea breeze tan their faces Every sunny summer’s day; You will find of tears no traces After C-Sea-spray. Cheapest cure for coughs or coddling: For three halfpence either way, Take the bairnies tall or toddling, Out the C Sea-way. So you mothers, work a’weary, Plan a picnic for a day, And you’ll feel your lot less dreary Watching C Sea-play. Catch the Sea-car, use your C—sense; Bet you’re better every day. Grown-ups there and back for sixpence By the C Sea-way. Pack up often of a morning, Take a respite while you may: Or, some fancied hindrance scorning, Try a C Sea-stay. Should the wind and Sea-spray stinging On the beach curtail your stay, Watch the sheltered youngsters swinging. From the C Tea K. Free for children, safe and healthy Be the weather may it may; May we all, then, poor or wealthy, Foster C Sea-play. —Wm. Ashwell.
