Poem
There was a time when I was young, My cousin Glenn and I, Did fall in love with one young man, Whose face and form were fine. He had a twinkle in his eye, A movie star like smile, And it was said we'd walk a ways, To glimpse his fine profile. He worked aft school a mile away, From where we lived back then, And we decided we'd walk that way, And mayhap talk to him. We dressed ourselves and combed our hair, To look our very best, To see which one that he might choose, To be his special guest. My cousin stole her mother's clothes, A jumpsuit of bright yellow, In hopes she'd catch his eye and then, He'd be her steady fellow. The one piece suit was very tight. It looked like she had poured, Her roundish form into a great, Big, giant gourd. She smiled and asked me if I thought, The suit did show her figure. She couldn't sit, could hardly walk, "It could be somewhat bigger." She didn't care for what I said, And we set out to walk, The mile to where "Adonis" worked, And mayhap watch him gawk, At two such beauties as we were, As we set about a drill, Upon the trampolines where we, Would show athletic skill. Glenn was first, she gave a jump, Into the air so high, And as she sailed aloft her suit did burst, I watched the pieces fly. Like a big yellow balloon it popped, And flew in all directions. She hit the ground and screamed and ran. So much for grace and perfection. I laughed until I wet my pants, And so we both lost face. She hid in the bathroom and tried to pin, The pieces back in place. With pins I got at the snack bar, From Adonis, my face beet red; For he could see I'd peed my pants. We both wished we were dead.
