Could only take ten minutes in the sun.
\nI’m old enough to know when my skin’s done.
\nAnd then, there were the ants,
\nand me, out in short pants.
\nAll I could do was sing the blues,
\nand shoo them with my flip-flop shoes.
\nThe outdoors is driving me inside.
\nIndoors, with cats, I easily abide.
\nIt takes one bad burn to wake.
\nAnd I know my skin won’t flake.
\nThe steeper the grade,
\nthe more one needs shade.
\nThose little round age spots
\nare all solar made.
\nGo inside and dream a lake.
\nRead, write, rest and maybe bake.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
