On the first day of every year
at noon when the sun is high in the sky
hundreds of folks of the Yarmoith, Mass area,
from far and near and all of good cheer
turn out for thier annual Polar Plunge.
It is a very brief intergenerational assemblage
whereby a whole community gets half naked
to share fellowship and
escape the doldrums of a cold winter's day.
Young and old alike gather on the shore
of the Atlantic Ocean.
They jump up and down and run around
before delving into the water...
just to get out of the cold.
But they are out in a hurry...
'cause they gotta put on the push
to get home before they freeze thier tush.
All are welcome to join in.
So come on everybody...
lets get together now and do
The Polar Plunge.
We'll all have fun under the sun.
Make it a date...
and don't be late.
I will hear about it only from this post, I will stay away from there as far as I can...My "tush" does not need a freezing thank you, anyway if I want to swim in the winter, I only live 50 miles from the ocean down this way...-e-
PS: if we don't hear from you after the New Year, we will understand that you froze to death...-e-
I'll not be joining you! Hypothermia is not my friend.

My best friend and I back in Arkansas used to jump in ice-covered ponds. Don't think either one of us wanted to do that, but couldn't stand the thought of being called a sissy!
