Sixty Years, Oh My

Skinny as Twiggy was in
    Flat as a board
  Not a millimeter sticking out
    Not even her pout

  Now it's all about curves
    And 'bubble-butts'
  Sticking out as far down there
    As a dislocated jaw might jut

  Friends, as far as this man's concerned
    ~ Either way, intimacy's spurned

Ha! Very funny, Gershon! Yes, I’m picturing Lizzo - about as far away from Twiggy as you can get!

Lizzo and Twiggy, quite a sandwich there, Ilene!
