Nude Is Crude

I think I shall never see the beauty In absurdity of human bareness. The aide in whom God entrusted duty Of our design was quite inept, I’d guess. The feline form was designed to impress, With fur coats adapting to the weather. No bird is pretty without a feather. God saw the bad results in time to say, We should give to man a coat of leather. We’ll hire fashion designers right away. I don’t go to the beach just for the sight Of man or woman in bare essentials. They may be young enough to look all right. Others should wear clothing and credentials. Parts of us should stay as confidentials. Ruben’s nudes are ridiculed as fatter Than savory pork served on a platter. In public keep your clothes on if you don’t Want to be dubbed crazy as mad hatter. Stay safely home if nudity’s your wont.

Joyce, your poem is the best one for humor!!! Congrats on the list. I kind of agree with you, especially about some of the people who should cover themselves on the beach!!
