That Girl on the Patio
She’s there again. That girl on the patio.
Preening for all the world to see,
wearing that scant little two-piece
and taunting every eye that sees her.
Of course, the privacy fence stands to guard
her as though it were tall enough, but
this upstairs window frames her
pretty as a picture, which she is
And nevermind the binoculars, how
fortuitous that they are here at hand.
I’m sure they’re just here for watching
doves and cardinals in the willow below
after all, my son has a steady girlfriend
two years now and promising to promise
despite he’s too young at seventeen to settle
down . . . much like that girl on the patio—too young.

This is, of course, a purely fictional situation. No young cuties were ogled in the making of this poem.
