A Fashion Trend I Have To Point Out

A British designer of clothing and such
Is showing an outfit a bit out of touch
It’s all made of leather but that’s not my beef
It’s straight from a cow but from far underneath
She wanted some leather but did not want to pay
She heard that the tanners threw nipples away
She gathered up nipples; 3000 in all
And stitched up a gown for the next Cow Town Ball
She fashioned the nipples into genteel rosettes
A floor-length leather gown for the disarming coquette
But the critics all panned it all over the joint
The designer just sighed; said they don’t get the point
The critics replied, that is all that we see
And a dress made of nipples is pointless to me
But the British designer said she’d try another
And this time use more than the tip of the udder

In some sentence there were nipples Which were followed by participles And a queen often wears a crown, But not in bed when she's with a gown. Disaster was utter and beyond So they decided to abscond Ad idea for a poem that you had; No wonder it turned out very bad.

Thanks Carol. I have been away from PS for a while - just not inspired to post even though I still write them. I hope to get back in the practice and fun of PS. Mike
