The Present On the Beach

The May Bahama breezes rustled fronds of palm trees very common on the beach. And he, with an affinity for blondes, was drawn to one who seemed within his reach. Encompassed by white sand and azure sea, embraced by warming rays, she, sweet and thin, a present for his eyes now seemed to be, well-wrapped in golden tissue - smooth, young skin. The challenge often facing him was gone - no need to guess, by checking cleavage out, the looks of what he fondly gazed upon. Her luscious mangoes bared left him no doubt. Engaged in sport, he thanked his lucky star he’d packed binoculars to see so far! 7/31/12 For the Funny Poem Contest of craig cornish

Ah, you won in Craig's contest with this! Well done, and congratulations! Okay, so it was 9 years ago... this is deliciously funny how you build up to the finish with great description of the object of his desire. The binoculars makes a great punch line. Such fun!

By the way, I hope you've read my poem dedicated to our dear friend, PD. I also entered it in the contest but I have 13 lines which is already a violation to one of the rules, LOL. I'm not sure if it is ok (smile). I will read more of your poems my dear friend on my free time in school. Thank you so much and have a wonderful and grace-filled day always to you and your family! luv yah, leonora
