Bra Woes

This is for all the ladies out there That no doubt will relate To all the woes of wearing a Bra To which there is no escape So, firstly we have the bra that rubs Which stings, that being a major flaw When finally you rip that bra off It’s rubbed your skin red raw! The bra where your boobs bulge out the top of the cup Or hang out underneath You have paid big money for this bra Yet, you are still getting bra grief! Then there's the bra where the straps “continually” fall down They will never sit in place Pulling them up constantly Trying to hide the absolute annoyance on your face! We then have the bra that lacks support With movement your boobs just jiggle about Let’s hope there’s no need to run As you will totally knock yourself out!! Lastly, the underwire bra This one worse than all the rest Looking down in complete horror you see A large round wire poking out your top sitting on your chest….!!!

bras are just annoying, especially those wire ones! They're like medieval torture devices. After I had rotator cuff surgery, I couldn't hook my own bra for a couple of months. So, I just gave up...now wear only sports bras that snap in the front. :-) smiles, Sara

lol Am there, do that. The straps that keep falling off my shoulders, and the bra that keeps letting my boobs bubble out the top are my worst woes. Don't bother with the ones that have wires because the poke me and it hurts. This one is true to life and cute too. God Bless, JB

I simply refuse to wear one, Deb. Funny how you girls struggle to keep them in and yet so many men struggle to get them out. Hey guys… just get your lady to change that pesky clip for Velcro. I’ve a sneaking suspicion that your lament is tinged with levity, which is a good thing, cos it gave me a giggle. ;-)
