I Like My Body

I like my body when it's with your clothes.
With your skirts and with your hose.
Panties, bras and stilettos -
you must let me BORROW those!
Oooh, they're tight... I don't suppose
you've got these in open toes...?

If it's clean and no stain shows, give it here, I'll strike a pose. If it's not, the same thing goes, I'll just have to hold my nose. Hahaha! Funny

hahahaha. I was thinking you were putting yourself into a man's persona because of line two and then realized you were just talking to another woman. Oh wait, you ARE being a man, a drag queen!!! this is really really good!!!

Haha! Yes, you GOT it! The reference line I chose for this contest is from an E.E. Cummings poem that's written to a woman from a man's pov so I thought I'd keep that original perspective and add a silly little twist on the end. I'm glad you like it, I really enjoy writing with humor but under certain poetic parameters I think it sometimes tends to get lost in translation. Thanks, Andrea! xoxo
