Supertan Gran

Supertan Gran

Observed on Altea market, June 2009

Now here’s an older lady
Who though she looks quite nice
Clearly hasn’t taken
Dermatologists’ advice.

Her skin is tanned so deeply
You wouldn’t guess she’s fair,
But when you get up close
She has wrinkles everywhere.

Her skin’s been baked to parchment,
Even her arms are creased,
This makes her look so ancient
She could well be deceased.

So take note any woman
Who’s a tanning parlour fan,
Do you really want shrivel up
Because you kept a tan?

And don’t forget to take
Dermatologists’ advice,
Cover up and use your sunscreen,
Even fair skin can look nice.
