People say the beach is the great equaliserWho are they kidding?Sit at Bondi and watch the boys flexAnd the girls walk bolt uprightIt looks like a nightmare episode of Baywatch.The true equaliser is the mountain coldAnd stacks of cold flung togetherMaybe then wed listen to what each other is sayingInstead of checking out the best bods.And as I wrap another layerAround my Size 10I think of Jacks favourite saying:todays tan is tomorrows cancerI walk outsideAnd whistle at the wind.
