Miami Beach
Sunshine on waves is an exciting show
for our daughter Katey and our son Joe.
Miami Beach is the perfect place to swim!
Mom and Dad keep an eye on them.
Zooming by slower folks is just great
for two little daredevils on roller skates!
It’s the nineties. Skating is all the rage
for rollerbladers of every age.
The warm sea breezes are pure delight.
We’re dining on Ocean Drive tonight…
pizza and ice cream in a sidewalk cafe,
people passing in an endless parade.
Coming in, like a wave, is a happy mood.
We’re listening to music and feeling good.
Mom and Dad still have dessert to eat…
Joe and Katey are dancing in the street!

Our family lived in Miami Beach for seven years in a 1940 Art Deco style house. We christened our house, inhabited by a dog and two very active children, “Bedlam on the Beach.” Miami Beach is a wonderful city with beautiful beaches, historic Art Deco buildings, great restaurants, and lots of interesting things to do.
