Checking Out the Tats
Sitting by the river
There are lovely urban views,
But it’s more fun to people watch
And check out the tattoos.
A dragon snaking up an arm,
Some flowers on a calf,
An eagle near an elbow
And a wizard with a staff.
A Yankee logo on a neck,
Some words etched on a chest,
A tiger and a postcard with a stamp,
Neatly addressed.
A bird, an anchor and a leaf
And much more, I suppose,
Well-hidden from the public,
Meant to privately expose.
