It shimmered and glared and heated the air
The sun melted down on her body so warm,
relaxed all her tensions and made her feel calm.
It shimmered and glared as it heated the air.
She basked in the sun’s rays with nary a care.

Her skin quickly toasted in bright summer light.
A seagull sailed by in the air like a kite.
Her sweat mixed with lotion to fill in each pore
as she lounged on her blanket that day at the shore.

The beach was the place she had longed for all week.
She said to herself, Let’s be bold and not meek.
She wore her new swimsuit, the one with the thong.
She’d tan all her bare skin – hey, what could go wrong?

She should have paid heed to the weatherman’s threat.
And now she’d remember this day with regret.
She never expected to get such a burn.
That sure was a valuable lesson to learn.

Her butt was so sore she could barely lie down,
as red as a lobster instead of nice brown.
She’d fallen asleep for a minute or two.
Now she couldn’t sit on her keister, could you?
