World Naked Hiking Day
June 21st
Here is something you might like:
If you’re keen to take a hike
Do it in the summer sun —
Just don’t leave your clothing on.
Ah, so fresh, so wild and free,
Watch the breakers on the sea,
Or meander through a wood,
Skin a-tingle, it feels good.
Give the breeze a better chance
To refresh you sans your pants
Tickled by sweet morning air.
Sure — some passers-by will stare.
They may cough, avert their eyes,
Other folk may criticise;
Simply take it in your stride
And their comments cast aside
If it rains don’t be distressed,
By those waters be caressed;
Birds a-twitter in the trees,
Humming of the honey-bees,
Walk along naked sightseer…
Wait — what is that sound you hear?
Sirens…cops in irritation
Bundle you off to the station,
Fling you in a cold dark cell,
All for jangling your bell.
Seems unfair — no crime construed,
You’re just walking in the nude.
