“Man and woman arrested over beach brawl”
—BBC

Vacationing couples are seldom apart,
Which can be a bit of a trial.
It isn’t surprising the smallest of shocks
Can trigger tsunamis of bile.

A day at the seaside to soak up some rays
That doesn’t go strictly as planned,
And one of the two can unwittingly cross
The other one’s line in the sand.
