L Milton Hankins Poet Light Verse

Moonbathing

A good friend told me
"Tonight is perfect for moon bathing, "
So I am lying in the backyard
Buck naked on a mended blanket
and praying to God my neighbor
Has gone away for the weekend.

Sam Kauffman June 13, 2021 at 9:50 AM Okaaay! Now that is clever and just plain funny Milt! Hopefully the moon is not blushing! Moon screen anyone! Reminds of a story about a friend who chased his runaway rabbit in bunny slippers and his wife's fuzzy pink robe! Still grinning! Congrats! L Milton Hankins June 13, 2021 at 10:13 AM Thanks, Sam. Believe it or not, this is one of my favorite poems I've ever written. I don't know why!
