Sunburn

As I went to the beach, I sprayed with care
covering my exposed skin with sunscreen.
Of the blazing sun I was quite aware
and wanted no red, but a golden sheen

I was so determined I would not burn
and I reapplied my sunscreen often.
To my other side I made sure to turn
so that any tan line would be softened.

I returned home after my careful day
and I thought that I would be in the clear
but soon I saw spots I'd missed with the spray
splotches were everywhere far and near

As I prepare from the beach to return
I think I'd prefer an all-over burn
