Plage


You never told me that you had a tattoo

You never asked

It was not there when I last looked

It is to remind me of happiness

The happiness of summer 

Are not all your summers happy 

Most are 

Especially this one

I do not see you that often Guy 

This tattoo is my gift to you 

I suffered considerable pain 

More than I was expecting 

It all depends on the geography 

Geography 

The geography of your body 

Some areas are more painful than others

Did your tattooist not warn you 

It is likely he did 

But he had a strong accent 

My tattooist is from Georgia 

I struggle with all accents

Then you have made me very happy 

Very happy indeed 

I chose its location with care 

You have always said 

That it is my best feature 

It is your best feature 

I wanted to record this happiness 

In an area that is not regular to my eye

That is why I decorated my body

Just for the pleasure 

Of my clever cousin

Who is visiting me from England 








 












But if others are unhappy 

Then I

I am a serious girl
