A Skinny Dip Trip

Hiking in posh, thick woods
On a hot and hazy day
Finding a dainty, good spot
For backpack down to lay.

A pond is off this trail I trod
With an oh so inviting pool
Stripping down to only skin
At last I start to cool.

Thinking that it’s far away
And off any hiking paths
I skinny dip and lay on rocks
Giving in to this cooling bath.

Not spying a pair of girls
Who also took this trip
I didn’t know I was a show
I think I was a hit.

For having worn pants again
As I got back on a hiking trail
A clapping of girl’s hands I got
And grins that didn’t fail.


For the no U and Me contest.  If you find any, let me know.

Oh, how embarrassing this would be, Joe! But at least you got some "applause" from the ladies. Very entertaining write. So far the best I've seen for the contest. Love, Carolyn
