2. When a teenager

Many decades ago….

My teenage girlfriend and I would skinny dip in my parent’s swimming pool
late at night,

we’d sneak into pool at summer nights, by opening the locked squeaky metal gate very slowly,

And the pool was set back a little from the house, maybe only 40 feet,
But it was surrounded by a six foot height privacy fence on three sides,
The ‘entrance to pool was metal gate and fence maybe 20 wide at front towards the house.
