banana yellow

when smearing water-color paint all over
the body of a sexy naked young man (a
young man such as Andrew Garfield--maybe
you've seen him
in the movie THE SOCIAL NETWORK or
NEVER LET ME GO),
anyhow, when smearing water-color paint
all over Andrew Garfield's (a sexy
naked young man) body,
i'd go for the nipples
first, then
the sunburst around his
bellybutton.
his scrotum would
be next,
and then the
shaft of his cock.
each of these would
be painted a different
color.
and, the more he giggled,
the more i would,
too.
