Naked News Ruse
How I was tricked into participating in World Naked Hiking Day
I shared with friend Laura I’ve got Monday blues.
Laura’s a writer, and my off-color muse.
“Bag your routine” she said, “hike in the buff.
It’s World Hiking Naked Day — show-off your stuff!”
When I said, “I’m up for that.” She rolled her eyes.
“I meant, I will join you — no part’s on the rise.”
“I won’t be hiking,” said she, “not clothed or naked.
I’ll write the story though and hope it’s curated.
I write for a health pub that’s nude curious
to know if naked hiking is injurious.
Right now, their website gets no naked traffic,
and they want to serve the new nude demographic.”
“But what if it’s just me trail-blazing this way?”
“There’s safety in numbers on Naked Hiking Day.”
“I’ve never nude sunbathed— full monty seems wrong.”
“If you’re such a fraidy cat, just wear a thong.”
“ … no longer a young hunk, you know, … gravity!
I could be arrested for depravity.”
