Seaside Missing Persons

Seaside Missing Persons

At the seaside you can now finally relax,
Feels so good to escape the stuffy city.
But slowly circling in the air above you,
Is a greedy eating machine without pity.

Like those pesky buzzards in the desert,
They will spot anything breaking cover.
Swooping viciously down on their target,
A shock from which none ever do recover.

Once one swallowed a small boy whole,
So the sunny seaside horror tale goes.
And a bigger one once ate a sunbather,
On the sandy beach while having a doze.

Whilst another consumed a deckchair,
Clearly the most dumbest of them all.
And he was in a sticky predicament,
When he had to answer nature's call.

They carry off amusement dodgem cars,
Their drivers mere sardines in a can.
And still one came back for seconds,
Gobbling up the pink candy-floss man.

Travelling tourists have gone missing,
Whole families have simply disappeared.
One minute there the next they're gone,
By a high screeching sound most feared

So be warned when visiting the seaside,
Of the hunger circling in azure skies.
Or you will become their next victim,
By the seagulls of gluttonous surprise.

*
T'was many many full moons ago,
Whence cleanliness was sadly so so.
A hero emerged with a superb invention,
A legend growing against germ prevention.

Fighting against germs and dirt with ease,
With soap his weapon he aimed to please.
A wizard unlike the wicked witches of old,
The one who'll keep us pristinely unsoiled.

In a cleansed land not very far away,
Lived Bryan the soap wizard all do say.
In his hygienic hand he'd flick his wand,
To fashion soap that was simply beyond.

His potions bubbled as his cauldron steamed,
Creating soap that shimmered and gleamed.
For all dirty denizens hands and faces too,
Bryan's aimable soap was the perfect brew.

With coconut, lavender, mint and tea tree,
His satisfying soap was gentle as can be.
For it purged away the dirt and grime,
Leaving one's skin feeling oh so fine.

So if you ever need a magical touch,
Seek out Bryan the soap wizard as such.
For cleansed hands and a happy heart,
With Bryan's soap you'll never be apart.

Let's give thanks to soap in our hands,
For keeping us unsullied in all lands.
Simply add water and behold the bubbles,
Made to relieve a mortals tiresome troubles.

So next time you wash recall the tale,
Of the soap hero who will never fail.
With just a little scrub and a rinse,
You'll be protected for it's a cinch.

So let's raise a toast to our soap hero,
For keeping us safe both high and low.
Let's give thanks for the power it brings,
And wash those hands it's a good thing.

Soap wizard Bryan is happily married,
To affable Pauline a worthy white witch.
Whose cauldron bubbles with good will,
With magical potions crafted to enrich.

Oh! And by the way as I said earlier...
T'was many many full moons ago,
And Bryan's true age no mortal will know,
For behold his great secret to raise the roof,
Bryan's soaps contain... The Fountain Of Youth!
