Lifguard...

I was surfing on the wet

When I was trashed by a wave

Screaming bloody murder, I wasn't very brave

The surf crashed all around me

I was blinded ... Couldn’t see

 

It was the worst scenario, I had ever met

 

Bubbles...Not the chimp

Filled my nose and mouth

Was I going north, or was I going south?

I couldn’t tell which was which

This really was a bitch

 

And my macho- thing was limp

 

I was scared beyond belief

This may be my last

I couldn’t see a future, just my sordid past

A mermaid, from out of no-where

Bare breasts and brunette hair

 

Kept me from a serious hurt...crashing on the reef

 

The world was swimming past my head

As she towed me to the beach

I was holding on, to the only thing that I could reach

Her eyes and lips, said you must rest

So I kept holding to her breast

 

And I wasn’t dead...

I have never been surfing...

But, I have been caught in a big wave that tossed me around. I was watching a surfer movie, and wanted to try on the emotion. Of course I needed to be saved, and I chose the mermaid. I felt better about hanging on to her, instead of a big hairy life-guard! Love and hig bugs, ~ Gee
