Summer by the Pool

Laying out by the pool, Jules was caught
wearing less than the rules said she aught

She was asked by the cop
why she'd cast off her top

Her reply? "it's s July and I'm hot"

Sun Off Kilter Tanning The Wheat

Sun off kilter tanning the wheat—
The crows broke into her cold fast,
As breeze stir dropped its sweetness by
The dark golden, her soupy flesh.

From childhood not cooling like
The sun off kilter tanning the wheat
Comes a girl's faithfulness on skin—
The atmosphere for pressing heat.

A sweat thaw on her boundless brow—
The girl running lost, wild and free;
The sun

Anais' Tanning Smarts

A lesson learnt in ancient Rome:
Beware the sun with sea-salt foam
But learnt at Yale
With skin so pale
Don't leave your bikini at home!

Backyard Betrayal

Backyard Betrayal

Mr. and Mrs. McLude
Laid out each day in the nude
A drone hovered by
“I’m cold!” the man cried.
Embarrassed, his wife yelled, “How rude!”

Sitting In My Lawn Chair Tanning

Sitting in my lawn chair tanning
On my little patch of asphalt,
Many things I see occurring 
I normally just would not see.
Like spiders spinning dinner webs,
Butterfly on its way somewhere,
Loose leaves blowing around on lawns
And emmets running race car speeds.
I hear the rustle of tree leaves
In summer breezes in my trees,
The roar of municipal trucks
And heavy

Tanning Beds

Did you know, toasters are tanning beds for bread
Keep coming up with these winners straight from my head
Was one of my best
Even amazed myself
Another is chocolate covered bacon, popularity not widespread

Tanning My Parts

Sittin' in the sun, tanning my parts
Calm down girlies, viewing will soon start
Buck fifty an hour
Then need a shower
Free if I can join you and review your repetoire

Too Tan Tess

Too tan Tess was what they called her
But not for the reason you think
But of a misplaced "two" decal
Stuck to her, after too much to drink

Her moniker came hard for her
With an untanned two on her head
She said, "Well, I'll just keep tanning,"
"Till it's gone, this two that I dread!"

She tanned more to cover it

Waiting For the Tanning Shop To Open

Waiting for the tanning shop to open
has to be, oh has to be,
        the worst thing?

Waiting for the tanning shop to open
has to be, oh has to be,
        the worst thing?

Waiting in a line,
with the palest skin of skin,

Tanning Beds

olive skin so soft and silky smooth
dark brown hair the color of poo
sat in the sun too long is what she do
and now shes bronzed and leathery too
her skin and hair turned to vermouth
aged and withered unwise to see
the color of bronze she turned indeed
now caramel swirled and autumned hair
she sat in the mirror and

The Tanning Bed

The Tanning Bed

By Elton Camp

Victoria wanted to get a healthy tan
So it was to the tanning bed she ran
It was there she learned of carcinoma
And all got worse, it was melanoma
