My Thighs

My thighs were always way too fat
Back in my younger days.
It really wasn’t fair at all
Since minis were the craze.

But that was many years ago;
I’ve lost a bit of weight
And all of me is thin enough
So styles cooperate.

Except I never realized
When I thought that life was simpler
That older thighs, despite their size,
Are ugly, loose and dimpler!

A women's eyes and a women's thighs can captivate a man. But a women's mind will always find he'll do what ever he can.

ILENE!!!! YOU ARE ONE AMAZING WOMAN! I LOVE YOUR WRITES! Did you know that Andrea D praised your work in one of her blogs? Can't remember which one, but I agree with her. You're amazing. Loved this one. You got me at the title. Don't even get me started on MY thighs! ;)
