Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

Bottoms Up

At a sports event in Europe*
Norway got a hefty fine
For their players were competing
In some shorts that crossed the line.

For the only proper bottoms 
Are bikinis, so the crowd
Gets a peek at much more tush 
Than what it seems the shorts allowed.

As the spectators were cheering,
Maybe Norway got some boos,
Since the team from Spain provided
Much more titillating views.

*Beach handball championships

Caren Krutsinger July 31, 2021 at 7:40 PM I think this double standard is disgusting, so glad you pointed it out!

John Watt July 21, 2021 at 11:23 AM kudos to the women's team for taking a unified stand and to you for bringing attention to the continuation of double standards women face in the world of sports

Rico Leffanta July 21, 2021 at 11:20 AM I always wondered why it is spelt titilate instead of tit elate? I do support bikini beach volleyball - and your poems! Aloha! rico

Jan Allison July 20, 2021 at 11:57 AM ha ha ha I have seen footage of beach volleyball no wonder its so popular with the short shorts and bouncing boobies lol:-) hugs Jan xx Rico Leffanta July 21, 2021 at 11:23 AM The University of Hawai'i Beach Basket coach got fed up with me taking and posting photos of her buxom beauties leaping and bouncing, so she changed their "uniform" to "proper" shorts & Tshirts. Attendance is down as I have not taken nor posted any photos since then.
