Notes About The Poem

Is Honesty the Best Policy

She may be shaped like an apple or a pear
But this query may be asked in the world out there

It’s not a question you can easily dismiss …
Tell me does my bum look big in this?

She smiles sweetly and awaits your reply…
Tell me guys are you honest – or would you lie!

LOL, hilarious! Here's a wee trick I use when shopping with a gf, when shes trying on dresses, and says , which one looks good, I always pick the most expensive one, then say but it makes your hips look a wee bit bigger than they are. Saved a fortune with this!!!! hugs Jan!!

Oh Jan...Me's got a big booty! I've also got a mirror, so....I don't bother to ask. Oh dear...I did ask my brother that question today after church because I was wearing a clingy dress....He smiled! :) HA HA! Guess a smile is a good answer as well. Lovely poem, girl. :) Hugs

Jan it is funny to me when I think of this question at 61 years old, I can not remember one time a woman has asked me that question. Women are gorgeous, my answer would be "Honey I love your booty" and I would be telling the truth. I love apples and peaches and all types of pears. In fact I remember asking my girlfriend once "How do you feel about your ass?" She answered honestly "I'm not always happy, needs work, but I love you and I'm sticking with you! That my dear is how I feel about you."

Jan Allison

January 24, 2015 at 9:54 AM

Aww ten out of ten for that lovely diplomatic answer Armand - guess that is all a lady wants to feel is loved for who she is:-) Love and Hugs Jan xx
