Third Degree Turns

‘babes you need UV protection’ from top to tail and midsection ‘I’m African don’t be daft’ quite insulted she laughed a masterpiece of self deception but the tan worshipper in Cape Town decided her skin must get more brown took a book to sun but it was ’Shantaram’ now she got blisters and a burnt frown the sequel is called ‘Mountain Shadow’ 900 pages to become quite aglow thought she reflected her lesson from scripted obsession and consumed part two in the snow she became frosted in flakes and purblind ‘babes some advice if you don’t mind’ the book has dangerous thickness and then there is altitude sickness Mount Kilimanjaro can be unkind now she reads reclined in the boudoir fact fiction fantasy and mysterious lore Hawaiian tropic neath pajamas on cutis sun shades and bedsores on gluteus and wonders what else reading has in store should she try with fins snorkel and mask but corals sting and sharks have a blast a most unappealing notion why not apply sun lotion and make misconception a thing of the past 14th June 2020 a true story and part of the family legend
