A light moment in the sun

Poem Commentary

At last it is getting warmer in the Springs. Getting outside is fun again.

A light moment in the sun



Here I sit with tea in hand
I'm soaking up the sun
Now I see I'm getting tan
And this I call my fun

Am I getting bronzed you ask
I wish that that were so
No I just sit here to bask
To get a healthy glow

They say we must get our Ds
That's what I try to do
Sipping coffee or green teas
And getting healthy too

Ginsing, or green tea. If I want to improve my health, I'm going to need specifics ha ha.

All coffee is good [it just depends on how many sips it take to get good.] I am drinking Uncle Lee's 100% Green Organic Tea. I drink it hot. So have at it, Chaos.'-) To your health...

Even our health is mostly in our attitude I believe. Glad you liked it.

Just don't sit too long babe. You'll get skin cancer! But there I go, being silly. It's because it's after midnight and I can't sleep, and I am so blasted tired!!! Liked this adorable little piece of clever stuff.

You will more than likely get skin cancer from slathering the sun cream than from the sun. Truely. Sleep Well L.

I agree with you on that for sure Mr. B. It seems people never stop to think just what those chemicals that are stopping whatever they are stopping are starting.

Yes - even windows take out the good rays and send through the bad ones. Sometimes life just ain't no fun...

Now you are telling me you are on a health kick . Great poem and made me laugh . I live in the sun on horse back or diving come play in my pond Marie

Sounds wonderful. Both.

Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.

T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
