In London, we are enduring the hottest September for years! 🥵 My photo shows I am not the only one who is discarding garments.
BRAS I hate BRAS! It’s made to prop your bosom up. (Mine’s a torture strap 34 D cup). I know men can gaze at them with oohs and AAAHS, But I so hate them, especially when it’s HOT. When it’s hot, I do not like to wear them. I do NOT! In fact, I cannot bear them! I want to rip the garment off and throw it far away. But, alas, if I do that, My breasts will… Sway and sway and SWAY. There’s something else even worse. I bet you cannot guess what happens next. They can DROOP. No! And leave me vexed and perplexed, And NAKED. Oh. The worst of it—the worst thing of all, Is that they can… Oh no, don’t tell me! What do they do? I don’t want to tell you, But They can FALL Fall down to my knees! Haha, please! And sweep the ground. Once they found a lost coin and a stolen gem. Ahem, Is this too much information? ~ Lesley Scoble, Hot September 2023
I’ve heard of a new poetry prompt called What’s Going On. I don’t know if my poem applies to this prompt, as my poem BRAS is more about What’s Coming Off. Anyway, I shall link to it just in case it qualifies.
