That was me,

When I was 10 years older than three,

I surfed up a storm on a ten foot board,

But found it more fun to body surf, never was I bored…

Anybody can ride a wave to the shore,

Though now my lithe little skinny body,

Went away with the years leaving me with a gut,

That doesn’t allow me now to body surf to the shore,

I run aground halfway in, showing off my also big butt…

But still the knowledge does of wave riding exist,

I try my damndest, to ride I do really persist,

My muscles are not as nimble, nor do I have much stamina,

But just one really nice ride each time I swim,

Is enough to make me happy & feel I am still to a degree trim…
