Notes About The Poem

7/24/2024 for A funny Summer Limerick Poetry Contest sponsored by Tania Kitchen

For My Eyes Only

In summer, I drag old bones to the beach.
High surf and bikini clad women teach
that, shining in the sun,
there are some kinds of fun 
that are for me, not my eyes, out of reach.

Thanks Hilda. Luckily, I'm only 3 miles from the beach.
