Because the Strand Deserves a Little Fluff — An Ocean Lakes Snowbird Poem

Some stories arrive as memories.
Others arrive as poems.

These snowbirds have been returning to Ocean Lakes Family Campground for several years, and when asked to share a memory of the Grand Strand, they decided a paragraph wasn’t enough.

They sent this instead.


Because the Strand Deserves a Little Fluff

You asked to send in a story; you said a paragraph is enough,
But how about a poem instead because the Strand deserves a little fluff.

Two years now these snowbirds travelled far to Ocean Lakes,
A decision to book a third year, now that’s a piece of cake.

Oh yes we love the campgrounds and we also love the Strand.
We love the ocean, food and shops, and the southern charm is grand.

I said I’d write a poem, but I might just have to write a book,
Because what we love about the Strand, well it’s just off the hook!


Have a memory of the Grand Strand?

A paragraph is plenty.
