Joe Flach Poet Rhyme

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.
