Topless
On a public beach, they sat,
An ordinary pair
Of middle age, content, it seemed,
To soak some sunshine there.
Her rolls of flab revealed the fact
That half of her was nude,
Her breasts quite unencumbered,
Though her reasons did elude.
Was tanning her objective
Or perhaps a cooling breeze
Which a bathing suit would hinder
Or did digging straps displease?
Or just maybe she went topless
‘Cause her body made her proud
Or, most likely, just because the law
Says that it is allowed.
