Summer Cooking --- Well Done

Summer cooking on the beach,
Slap the sunblock where I can’t reach,
Baking in this broiling sun,
Ever since the day begun.

I’m roasting alive can’t you tell?
Touch my skin and I’ll scream like hell!
This is more than an alarming tan,
Someone said I’m a lobster man.

Sitting here I continue to broil,
Want some popcorn, just add some oil,
I’m finished now, I’m well done,
Cooking here in the summer sun.

You are right! Back when I was young people put oil on their skin to tan deeper. That gave me the idea to add popcorn. :)

Hey Timothy.. So glad I had the opportunity to read your interesting poem this morning. I'm heading home from a road gig today and won't have this chance again for a while. Happy Weekend!
