Flapper of 1921

the other women are askance a flapper has moved into the neighborhood not on her own, but with parents they cannot control her she wears short dresses this is 1921 her skirts are no longer than her knees! She is flippant, reckless, risqué, she has bobbed her hair the other woman gasp their disapproval she listen to jazz smokes cigarettes in public she flaunts brash behavior I heard she drinks alcohol! some whispered the rest of the women are shocked most had no idea that she is also having casual sex none of them knew about that they were jealous of her confidence her misbehaviors stoking their rumor fire as she stoked their husbands
