Burn All Bras

I care I search for the perfect peach shirt That allows my skin to breathe So red restrictive and violet vindictive A black bra is to me Why is it a put off if my girls toss You are lost emerald envy looking Gravity a green game it's such a shame That my bare breast are not winning That very day Eve met the snake Who cares if he was staring Did he partake of her chocolate cake Because her nipples were bra free My bra is like a rope my breast do choke I feel no hope in bras no worth Let them fall down to brown ground for I care and I search.

Ha 86D. I obviously hate bras. I think most women remove shoes and bra upon arrival home. Glad it made u laugh Susan. Thanks for stopping by.

I don't share your 'suffer' and discomfort with a certain 'unmentionable.' But your poem is creative. Enjoy your day, Sara

Luckily I don't have to 'suffer' wearing bras, Karen, but I can understand your restrictive dilemma! Take care and regards // paul
