Birthday Suit Blues

A girlfriend took me to a nudist camp,
And, wrapped up in my overcoat, I sighed;
The sky was grey, the site was chilled and damp;
In shock, I shuddered as I coldly eyed
The frozen naked forms - and tried to hide.
I kept my socks on, shivered with the cold;
My shaking shrunken form was feeling old. 
I fetched my sweater, grabbed my trousers too -
And wondered that those bodies were so bold;
But warm, I watched them turning shades of blue. 

Just fiction – but I always wonder if nudists wear a sweater on cold days…
For Cyndi’s Birthday Suit contest

hahaha, what an imagination, Jack. It must be interesting to see those weird bodies walking around. You gotta think half of them are terrible looking. Cute one.

That's really crazy, staying out in the freezing cold...Naked! Your write is truly amazing, I love it! I'm glad it was just fiction cause I believe that nudists are smarter than that..."turning shades of blue."! I really enjoyed your write that I have read this afternoon! Great Work!!
