A Flour Sack

Me bum is flat coz as a graphic designer I sat
Crushed it, didn't allow for expansion, it's a fact
Guess it's not a bad thing
No need to put it in a sling
Or walk around wearing a flour sack!

Russell Sivey Date: 11/13/2017 6:30:00 AM Ah, but aren't flour sacks wonderful? My grandmother, before she passed away, would tell me about times when they would make dresses out of the large flour sacks! She wore one when she was a child...it was hard times back in the 30's! What a grand poem about these sacks...to cover your bum..if you just wouldn't sit all the time! Don't worry I know what you mean, I sit on my butt all the time too, but now I lay a lot...to help my back! What a harmonious piece my friend, Great Work!!
