It was a very hot day in the city

And people were flocking to the lido

I swam there frequently on warm days

With my wife and her best friend

But today we had decided just to soak up the rays

And stretched out in the grassed area

To the right of the main entrance

It was then that Stella noticed

That she had lost her expensive shades

She asked if they had been handed in

But this enquiry drew a complete blank

The loss had threatened to cloud our day

When I noticed the missing glasses in the pool

I was asked to retrieve them from six feet under

Which I did and I was later treated to a pint

At the Bird With Two Feathers

On the East Kent Road
