The tan on my son
He thinks it’s a number one
Burned so deep and dark
You’d think it could cause a spark
Spent too much time in the sun.
***
I like to get everything right
Mistakes are just causing a blight
I reread every word
Know that it sounds absurd
But it ends up a perfect write.

Fitting a tanka in a limerick is not easy!😀
