Horror Poem

It was Saturday night, time for the dance.
There in my wardrobe, a little black dress.
A formal affair so I couldn’t wear pants.
I’m a vanity queen, I must confess.
I looked in the mirror, just a short glance.
The dress was all wrinkled, needed a press.
Smoothing the skirt there were terrible signs.
The little black dress, showed my panty lines.

I thought about this to make a decision.
My reflection was awful making me moan.
My little black dress may need a revision.
Panty lines showed, where my hips had grown.
This horrible sight that I did envision.
When I bought this dress I was skin and bone.
There’s only one way to impress the guys,
So under my dress is a naked surprise.
