Mark R Slaughter - Summer Melanoma lyrics

‘That's nice, ' I said, as Juno bathed me In her sun. Soon, a bronze Adonis - ogling girls! It must be done! I rolled over; bared a snowy skin To bake and burn and sear beneath a din Of ultraviolet rays… Now I'm on the ward, I count the days to Lesser pain, torrential rain; accepting I'm a fool to be so vain! I bore an awful mole, you see - A growth, a blighted entity Presenting as an ugly melanoma! Oh! how tricky life can be When unprotected by the sea, to Sizzle with a barbecue aroma!
