Burned--By Carolyn Devonshire--United States

Burned

Your honor, I desire to sue the sun
Got burnt in spite of all that lotion
"Waterproof," they say
The jury says, "Nay!"
The sun sneered, threatened nova, when I won

Carolyn Devonshire is from Ormond Beach, Florida.

  8. Thank you, John Williams, for the following comment--

    I am reminded how certain products make promises. Distributors' products are sometimes misleading. The word "burned" seems to indicate a double meaning. A bit of humor...A blistery experience, clever and to the point.
