Brazilian Wax

Note:  According to the Trenton NJ newspaper, NJ Considered Ban on Bare-it-
all “Brazilian” Wax due to complications suffered by some.

I know it's not about a foot that's bare
Butt where you wear your underwear
Though I was warned, "You can't go there"
I have this poem I have to share

New Jersey is drawing the line when it comes to bikini waxing
It seems the Brazilian “bare-it-all” wax has gotten a bit - - - well - - taxing
You see this Brazilian “bare-it-all” wax
 Is intended for fronts and those a bit lax
To rid the old body of anything curly
And let yourself look a bit younger and girly
But women have gotten unhealthy infections
And are forced to take pills or costly injections
To counter the trauma they had to endure
Insuring their lines were clean and secure 
But you see by law, that’s not even allowed
There are parts of the body that should be left proud
And if someone is waxing you back to your youth
It’s a little unseemly – a little uncouth
It is better to leave some parts unattended
Then to get Mother Nature upset and offended
So New Jersey will seal this Brazilian Wax fate
After all they are known as The Garden State

Hi Mike, I was born and raised in NJ too! This Brazilian Wax sounds very dangerous and I'm glad NJ has banned it. Hope the FDA will make a nationwide ban. I don't mess with Mother Nature -- never had any waxing and even cut my own hair. Your poem clearly illustrates the perils of going to extremes for vain purposes. Well put and very informative too. Wishing you success in Francine's contest. Love from a NJ native
