Embarrassing Moment Mid-Sixties, I went to the shore A hot summer day, so I wore My handmade swimsuit It was very cute Expecting I was, and I swore, It looked just as nice as can be My tummy was covered, you see The shorts were cut out For belly to sprout Top flared over shorts demurely. At once came along a great wind My top flew right up and chagrined By this great surprise To see with my eyes My tummy exposed as bare-skinned! But now in these new modern days No problem with bumps that amaze Those covered or bare Don't bring on a stare When dressed up in clingy arrays Back then we were less indiscreet Maternity clothes for the street Were tents that flowed wide To hide what's inside Our bumps took a private backseat! So when my bare belly stuck out So shocked, I spun 'round with a shout Grabbed towel up fast Embarrassed, aghast I covered it up without doubt!

Big no, no back then. I still wish women wore loose maternity clothes, it seems the first thing we can do to protect them from the world! You poem is well-written and most amusing. I truly enjoyed it ... CayCay
