Topless Old White Men in the Park

I know you are turned on right now.

Who wouldn’t be?

I have just come back from Kennington Park.

The park was full of old wrinkly fellas, tops off, beige shorts on, sun bathing.

They were an eccentric bunch, man boobs on some, rib bones on others, although all were silver foxes, only one baldy.

The sun was blazing, but nothing was as bright as these fellas.

My skin is usually about as pale as you can get without actually being an albino, but these guys made look tanned.

It was as if someone had rung a bell, and told all the old fellas it was sunbathing time.

And they were all oddly near each other as well.

It might have been a cult.

Today was the first time I have ever been through Kennington Park without seeing a squirrel, say what you want about the homicidal little fuckers, but they know when to hide.

There were also young lady sunbathers, not many, as the sight of all those men sunbathing might have made their skin crawl.

I was oddly drawn to the old men though.

The park was packed in general, skanky buskers, who all had instruments but weren’t playing.

Kids and mummies running wild.

Art students trying to look hip by studying in a park.

It was such a bustling day in the park that I may not visit it anymore.

Usually I am one of few, and every single one of them has a top on.

I don’t want to share my park with old grey geldings.
