SPF 15

"I'll take the SPF 15" I said
for I was pale and I wanted to get some sun
I spread it from my toes up to my head
and walked out the door ready to have fun

I swam in the sea and sat on the shore
then I read a book and played bocce ball
Alas! but of sunscreen I used no more
and this would soon prove to be a bad call

I looked in the mirror back at the house
hey! I was starting to look kinda tan!
But I looked again and open my mouth...
A dark red spread from my chest to my hands

Today the importance of sunscreen proved
as here I sit in too much pain to move
