A Skinny Dip Trip

Hiking in posh, thick woods On a hot and hazy day Finding a dainty, good spot For backpack down to lay. A pond is off this trail I trod With an oh so inviting pool Stripping down to only skin At last I start to cool. Thinking that it’s far away And off any hiking paths I skinny dip and lay on rocks Giving in to this cooling bath. Not spying a pair of girls Who also took this trip I didn’t know I was a show I think I was a hit. For having worn pants again As I got back on a hiking trail A clapping of girl’s hands I got And grins that didn’t fail. For the no U and Me contest. If you find any, let me know.

Oh, how embarrassing this would be, Joe! But at least you got some "applause" from the ladies. Very entertaining write. So far the best I've seen for the contest. Love, Carolyn
