Pinpricks lost in a vast territoryNewly emerged from virgin ground
Mounds as flat as pancakes and sunny side ups
Hiding inside frills and stripes and polka dots
Rockets rigid ready for lift off
Lipstick tips with a rotten apple point
Jumping jigglers playing tennis on the beach
Juicy watermelons ready to be picked
Freckly faced like spotted dick
Avocado pears split open lengthwise
Over-ripe, sagging, waiting to drop off
Spilling forth from undersized cups
As red as beets with the root nipped in the bud
Upside down mountains with dusty peaks
Excess sponge flab on a hairy chest
Young and old
Touched untouched
All worshiping the same yellow god
Exposed for all to see.

Muping jigglers! You've obviously been spending time at the beach...
