Popcorn Carolyn
Lonely-hearted Carolyn thought she was too large.
She searched long and hard
but couldn't find a man, good or bad
so she went on an all-popcorn diet.
Popcorn Carolyn slimmed down fast.
Attracting many men, both good and bad.
She jumped on a testosterone carousel of confusion:
She dumped and was dumped upon.
Flourished, then languished in the froth
of many musky promises.
She got off and on many, many times...
Then finally jumped off the carousel of men.
Popcorn Carolyn gained all the weight back. And then some
Popcorn Carolyn met a good woman and finally lived.
