The month of summer solstice
Midsummer’s day and Thursday’s child
Is here at last, I’m pleased to say
So on this day I smiled
That’s not to say of course that I
Don’t smile on other days
It’s just that June’s my favourite month
In many different ways
A Thursday’s child in fifty-nine
So too again this year
Six and fifty summers seen
As I applaud and cheer
I’ll leave it up to you to guess
On which Thursday that day falls
But I think a beer will feature
When my birthday evening calls
And if the sunshine smiles that day
The beach is where I’ll be
To celebrate another year
By my favourite place, the sea
