Surfer

Riding the crashing waves to the shores of the bay
Feeling fully flushed by the hot sun grilling
Your tanned and bronzed body on your towel, chilling
When approached by these girls looking for a great lay

You ask them for their names, you comment their beauty
Both gorgeous and reckless, wanting an adventure
With your surfer body, they want to grab venture
Your eyes look up and down, imagining bounty

You tell them you're married to only one that counts
And they should find the same, a life partner for love
Someone that will bring joy, fitting you as a glove

The temptation was there for two pretties accounts
But you took the high road, and refused their tender
Your eyes only see her, her tremendous splendor
