Notes About The Poem

Inspired by a real story

Topless Surfer

This summer, my twin met a surfer guy,
wearing bright shorts, looked like a dragonfly.
Funny, had a bush so thick,
thought he’d impress his new chick,
his topless humor made her wave goodbye.

Hahaha. We definitely don't want the ones that try to impress us like that. I kept wondering which of the bushes were thick. Lovely humour Dear Ink. You can write anything.
