What Were You Thinking

In my youth I had an urge to display A cute butterfly and a heart on me So off to the tattoo parlor one day ‘Twas a big trend way back then you’ll agree! The butterfly, low on my rear did rest So pretty it was with orange, and gold A heart rested low on my ample breast It was provocative, and very bold! But gravity and old age came to call And the old butterfly began to droop My little heart began to stretch and fall Distorted, it looked like a bowl of soup! You might sit around, and guess what it was Just please keep them hidden with pants ‘n bras! for the Which Of The Four Would You Choose Contest 08/26/2016

Thanks Darlene, I really don't have any tattoos but did this for the contest. I have often wondered how people will look when they get old and shriveled up. It should be a sight indeed! HaHa! Betty
