Beloved son

Bucky was told ‘well done’

Barbequed to a crisp

Blazingly scorched too dangerous to be kissed

Borrowed lotion

Barbie doll’s magic potion

“Been there done that

Back in my London flat”

Bowed the west end dancer

Ballerina performing prancer

“Brit, I thank you a lot,”

Beckoned Bucky getting extremely hot

Burning peeling skin turning dead

Benevolent pain played with his head

“Because it must be said

Bad idea turning me red,”

Bellowed Bucky climbing into bed

“Bye bye "she headed off the stage

Bringing a close to this tale about the college age
