BEACH SURPRISE
I went to my favourite beach today;
no jelly fish on it - hip hip hooray!
I can swim and paddle happy in the bay
as would have been Adam and Eve's way
when I have done my one thousand yards run
the width of the beach in Nothing On.
(Of course where that sort of thing is allowed,
where nobody points at how you are endowed,
em-body-ing spirit of live-let live,
place to learn to be body positive.)

Author's Note
Based on what I actually found visiting my nearest nude beach two days ago. This beach, in Wales, has had jellyfish washed up on it every previous I have been there but not this time. It was on that occasion I fulfilled what I wrote of in my poem, Doing The Greek Athlete, earlier this year.

Sounds like a fun day ... haven't been to a nude beach since I went to the Cote d'Azur ...

Socially it was quiet, because of the Covid situation didn't get to talk to my fellow beach people (might burst their respective social bubbles) but their manners were good, and the few dogs present were well disciplined by their handlers (I prayed none would chase after me on seeing me run). The beach is quite roomy so they parked themselves well apart. The enjoyment for me was of being among the elements and that sense of treading lightly on the earth, brought mind back to Eden.

Some of the beach goers have not always been the trimmest of people. I first heard of this one from overhearing an account over 10 years ago in a singles club I was then in, when one of the leading members who was blind was taken for a walk (clothed) along the beach of which the nude section is but a part. One of her escorts saw a couple of nude folk going into the sea and remarked 'They'll get into trouble', The other escort replied, 'They won't, it's the naturist beach'. She answered, 'You won't find me doing that, I'm too fat'! - at which point a Michelin-man proportioned woman came out of the sea after a skinny dip starkers!
