Learner Surfer

Learner Surfer
I am training myself to surfboard 
Practicing on my ironing board 
For I'm no loser
And the best mover 
Shall win a trophy surfer award.

So I've ironed my best underwear
My motto is to always prepare
If I have a fall
I will not bare all
And my assets won't feel whiffs of air.
