Oh!the deceitful Sun

And its Ultra violet rays,

Didn't know could play havoc,

For I dared, played  undermining its reign.

January month, a holiday, Oh! such fun,

In the heart of the Andamans,

I swam like a fish in the Northern Bay Beach,

The morning  sun seemed so sweet.

I splashed and splattered,

The water and me

That balmy warmth , Oh boy!

Every fibre of my body felt sublime.

No warnings did I heed,

I was but a fish, slipping around

Thought, would remain in waters, eternally.

And the Sun shined its teasing smile

Could it take the beating from puny me!

By the evening  true colours revealed

My whole body baked like a chocolate cake

 The setting sun bid goodbye

With tongue n cheek smile.

For next two days remained confined ,

Indoors like a fish fry......

Thickly coated  with white Calamine lotion

An antidote to soothe and heal my cakey skin .

 The ultra violet rays, and the havoc it played!

The sun had a hearty laugh , winking in query,

Who asked you to dare and come out ?

Without protection of a sun block lotion.

Oh dear Sun! But for your ultra violet rays

Not a nice gesture spoiling my two days.

Prevention is better than cure , Sir

For you  have taught the lesson well.
