First Line: Your shoulders were so neatly square
Last Line: But, darling, I loathe knobby knees.
Subject(s): Seashore; Beach; Coast; Shore
Your shoulders were so neatly square
And that faint crinkle in your hair
Made me forget the Winter cold
And all the lovely lies you told.
When Spring revealed her lovely hue
My eyes were closed to all but you.
The days sped by -- then, all too soon
We walked beneath a Summer moon.
Oh, all went well until that day
We journeyed to the beach to play.
You lost your charm -- forgive me, please,
But, darling, I loathe knobby knees.
