Bums Are Funny

Bums are funny, I don't know why
giggling 'til I nearly cry-

Silly nicknames are so much fun
like tuchis, tail, rump or buns

Some are dainty, sweet or cutesy
like heinie, cheeks, and petootsie

Timid hinting at their meanings
“back-end”, “behind”... backward leanings

While some are spunky, full of sass
like keister, bum, or tush, (or ass)

Posterior and derriere
both spell it out with quite a flair!

But buttocks, butt, or plain “backside”
bare it all- with nothing to hide

Haunches, hindquarters, can or seat
the list goes on without repeat...

Rear-ends, bottoms, duffs, full moons
all leave me laughing like a loon!

Wow - if I ever go on a gameshow where I have to name ten synonyms for butt, I'll be ready!

Hahahaa! Thought this was pretty all-inclusive, but someone pointed out on another site that I left out "arse"... (not that they minded)! ;D
