Golden muscled arms
glistened with sweat
in the heat of the late morning sun;
they rippled with raw strength
and made his task look effortless.
Perspiration soaked and darkened
his blonde curls
flattening them to his handsome head.
He knew he was being watched
of course
and performed accordingly,
stretching and bending
his supple body, then
arms akimbo, lightly touching
snake hips,
feet planted firmly apart,
eyes staring enigmatically
off into some forbidden zone
making him seem mysterious;
he knew he was being admired.
What a pity his brain
didn’t match his magnificent body.
How funny it was to see the roller
carry on as he stopped;
how hilarious to hear his howl of pain
as it flattened his plimsolled foot.

How mean!:-)
I like this very much; particularly the alliterative last couplet, which - like much alliteration - enhanced the comic tone.
Lovely.

Loved this Val :) The first few stanzas were quite erotic and I envisioned this heaven-sent being, God's gift to women, but I love the twist at the end and it made me laugh out loud! Goes to show that looks aren't everything ;)

This is absolutely true, he did have a body like a God he was gorgeous to look at, well I thought so then, now I think beefcake is so false, I mean if men were meant to have muscles like that they wouldn't have to work so hard to acquire them surely! Then however I was just a teen but my friend and I could see what was about happen and we just collapsed with laughter, he was so embarrassed he didn't take his shirt off for a week! Lol Val x
