Holiday Aftermath

1–2 minutes

Tan lines on my back, What do they say?
Yoo-hoo! I am having a rocking holiday.

A hot water bath after a nice swimming session.
Ouch! What is this burning sensation?

Frantically I search for some soothing liniment,
Only to find the sunscreen mocking at my predicament.

It simpered, ‘Forgot me again, I am an important thing,
You deserve these nasty sunburns and their sting.’
