Look Away

I 
would
rather lie
still and accept
eventual death than 
try to squirm my way out 
of a hammock while
someone is 
watching 
me

Self respect in the superlative degree! I would rather you stay alive my friend, Bill, and for that I will never watch you when you will be squirming your way out of a hammock! Ha-ha! Very good shape though!

Thats because you are a guy. Watching a pretty woman squirm out of a hammock would not be a bad thing methinks. lol
