Once upon a time in a land so grand,
A group of friends went to play on the sand.
They danced and laughed with a joyful skip,
And made memories that would last a long trip.

First, they took a dip in the cool blue sea,
Feeling free as the waves splashed over their knee.
The water dripped from their hair and toes,
As they swam and giggled, ready for more fun to unfold.

Next, they munched on chips as they lay in the sun,
The salty treats making their taste buds have fun.
They licked their lips with a smile so wide,
And enjoyed this simple moment with all their pride.

Then, they built a sandcastle with a sturdy grip,
Defending it from waves that might make it slip.
Their hands were rough from the sand and salt,
But their spirits were high and their hearts felt vault.

Later, they hopped on a ship and went for a ride,
Exploring the seas, side by side.
The wind was cool and the sun so bright,
As they flipped and danced with all their might.

Finally, it was time to head back to shore,
With memories to last them forever more.
So they danced one last time with a hip-hip-hooray,
And promised to come back again someday.

So let's take a dip, have a drip or two,
Lick our lips, eat a chip or two.
Grip tight and take a ship, flip and hip,
And make memories that will make us skip!
