I had a dream, you'll think me rude,
I was entirely in the nude.
Though my friends were rather red
"I have it to do" is all I said.
And I strode out, my head held high
There was a gardener passing by
Not an eyelid did he bat
I walked on and that was that.
If my body was fit and young
This might have even been quite fun
I'm saggy of boob and squidgy of tum,
And don't get me started on my bum!
But onward to my favorite bar
I walked, I didn't go by car
And glancing swiftly at the menu
I chose some breakfast and then a penguin
Of a man in black and white,
Gave me quite a little fright
He looked at me just like a pervert
I didn't like the look of Herbert!
Over the road was a beach,
I knew that I could easily reach
and look! Everywhere in sight
Were bottoms, boobs, and there on the right
A space waiting just for me! I fit right in!
I'm sure you see.
My nudity didn't need defending
And at this point, my dream was ending.

I think everyone has dreams about being naked in public. I'm sure it means something
This was great
I've always had dreams where I'm naked and so terrified because I'm so embarrassed and vulnerable. I aspire to be as confident as you!
Loved this poem. Thanks
I love the rhyming, makes the poem so fun to read.
This is good.o got a few chuckles. Well done.
A different spin on that naked-in-public dream! I loved it 😊
