When streaking was cool

Nudity -
inhibitions in free fall
that only become evident
on crash landing
on a property
not of your own
where a clothed mind
decides to undress
in front of closed minds
that opens slightly ajar
only to be shocked
into looking
at exposed genitals
while being chased
by men dressed in blue
with bobby hats
blowing whistles.
Seems everybody
wants a piece
of the action.

Ha. I am reminded of a woman streaker who braved the crowd at an international rugby match. She certainly made an impact. Your pieces here is visually funny Andrew.

lol. this is quite clever and cool. i guess its best not done in one's own neighborhood. do people even do it anymore, i suppose that nowadays if they did it would be whilst carrying a gun ... :)

Big fines ruined everything on streaking. Would be a better world hearing in the news a mass streaking event rather than a mass killing which just dominates these days.

true that ... :)

This is pretty cool Andrew. Men are always hungry to see a woman partially or wholly naked... like in many movies, where they stare from their window with a telescope! But this poem is truly funny as cops are having a good time too! And why not; it's male hormones!
Nice work....and funny

Thank you Betty. It was all the rage in the seventies and in the eighties for a while at public sporting events in Australia until the authorities introduced large fines. Usually young women did the streaking and how wonderful they were, naked and happy. It was all harmless fun and made us appreciate the female form once more.

You're very welcome Andrew!
