'The Last Resort'

entry picture

I see a clear blue New Brighton sky.
A few harmless fluffy clouds roll on by.
Deserted on the beach an ugly JCB.
The beautiful River Mersey I also see.

A lady sunbathes, catching the rays.
Beside her a little girl in costume plays.
Her blue spade is not close at hand.
In her 2 buckets you will find no sand.

A concrete beach, stone beneath feet.
No sandcastles for this girl to complete.
A picture from history, a famous frame.
'The Last Resort' is this pictures name.
