Petootsie Not Butt

petootsie is the word I came up with to describe posterior, hips, butt
Because I was writing a poem for children, and I really liked it.
If I had a dollar for every time I have used the word petootsie now
I bet I would have at least fifty dollars.

I keep looking in the new dictionaries to see if they have added it yet.
I am confident that they will some day; did you realize they add new words?
Every single year.

I think there is a chance.
Butt sounds rude
But petootsie insinuates fun.
