Human Bacon

I go out seeking the sun's rays

Cool
White
Plump
Moist

I lay there torturing myself

Hot
Sizzling
Salty
Turning

I return inside

Dry
Brown
Wrinkled
Done?????????

Juanita Thorn Date: 2/13/2013 4:35:00 AM This describes me when I was 13-14-15 or so. Always out for the tan...no longer though, after losing my Nan to Melanoma 5 years ago. Not something anyone should go through. Login to Reply Donna Jones Date: 2/13/2013 9:51:00 AM Yes I agree...I learned my lesson the day this was inspired
