At the beach, pressure's on

Dad in trunks and vest

Four years old, today's the day

He gives me my big test

Picking up a beach ball

Red, green, yellow, blue

He throws it at my feet

Wonders what I'll do

Do I kick it back?

Beautifully struck!

He's dying to get his son

Into a football strip

Or run away to build a castle

And precipitate the end

Of our relationship
