Tanning Bed

I feel the pain

I feel the burn

Why did I do it?

A lesson well learned

It’s not fun at all

I can hardly sit down

I’m bright lobster red

I wanted to be brown

Twenty minutes it took

Only five dollars to cook

To achieve this fantastic

Fire engine look

At night I can’t sleep

My skin is on fire

Tanning beds are safe?

Who said that?

They’re a liar

I’m typing standing up

I can’t sit in a chair

Being pale this weekend

Why did I care?
