Bust Run

I am not easily embarrassed
But one day I was being harassed,
for breast feeding my child on the bus.
The ignoramus caused such a fuss.
I flustered and jumped off in a huff.

On entering a shopping mall,
I noticed the shoppers stall,
while passing myself and baby Paul.
On glancing down I found
a breast, pointing at the ground.

Oops!

Than you Eve for such a high placement. I had fun writihg this one. As I was telling Nicola here, I breast fed two of mine until they were two and a half. The eldest, Edna, now 26, refused the breast and I still occassionally ask her "Why?" Thankfully, I never had the misfortune to expose one in public.
