Here's a two-minute drill:

After Sonnet 130

(with apologies to WS and Rod McKuen)

That day we both awoke beneath the sun,
our bodies baking on the beach, skin red
and wet with sweat, we rose to have some fun.
I poured cold beer upon your sizzling head.
You peeled aside your shorts to show me white
thin crescent moons that haloed your sweet cheeks,
and I bared mine, much to your delight.
But then we cried as one: “Your body reeks!”
We plunged into the ocean, as you know,
and poached in briny broth without a sound,
and reddened more before we had to go.
You ran through sand, sprawling on the ground.
I followed you, and we made love so rare
the rareness of our flesh could not compare.
