Bodies

Sit outside in summer, Watch the bodies passing by; Fat and skinny, in-between, But one or two – oh, my! Sculpted to perfection Like a fitness magazine, Muscles glowing with a healthy Exercisey sheen. Male and female both attract Some well-deserving stares For, in truth, nobody has A body that compares. Wonder how it feels to be That body on display And how much effort went Into it looking quite that way.

Wonderful first verse that could be hung at Waikiki beach! I don't know anything about men, but attractive women do spend an extraordinary amount of time on themselves. I have often said that any woman with painted toenails spends too much time on herself to be concerned with others! Another great read! Mahalo! Rico

I suppose the stares are the payoff for all the work they put in. Not that I will ever know! Love where you muse took you today, ilene! ~ John
