Notes About The Poem

 

Betty Booper

She’s a vixen without knowing it
Her big, wide eyes can tear men apart
And gals get jealous, but won’t admit
How Betty Boop’s poses rock the heart!
When she coos high, a blown skirt would lift
More tempting that Monroe’s photo shot;
Batting curled lashes like twilight feathers
As curvy hiplines would lightly slither.

Tired of fame, Betty changes her style
Wearing a hula to cover those knees
Oh fans start to ponder for a while,
How the red hair looks like a disease
With earrings gone, where’s the real profile?
A disguise which makes guy s whine, “Don’t tease!”
But the wind ruffles Boop’s grass costume
Revealing a gathered thigh in full bloom!

Loved this excellent humorous poem!! Such seemingly effortless writing, Nette, which am sure you probably slaved. Big Betty Boop fan also! A 7+ for sure! Good luck in contest!

So clever... rhyming 'feathers' with 'slithers!' This is delightful... again, images are rife here, like a technicolor movie. I can just picture her flouncing about! Well done my dear!! Best wishes, Keith

Your voice is added to the countless others (like myself) that hear your words and are taken back to a simpler time in life when Betty Pooper was considered risqué. Well done. Emile. #7

Sleek, visual poem for a hot babe who still excites us. Only a poet like you can jazz Betty up! 7-up!

It's been awhile. :) You chose quite the classic character, unsurprisingly. I really like what you did here, spot on.
