Sundress Undress
SUNDRESS UNDRESS
Hot day at the beach - time to catch some sun,
Maybe also catch some son.
She was a twelve year old girl - tousled hair -
In a tussle between herself and mum
It was too low at the top up there
Too high at the bottom - you could see her bum.
Pull it up and fail to cover some bits
Pull it down and can’t find anywhere it fits
Bare midriff, yellow with tiny dots of black.
Economical on material mum laughed -
Almost all gone at the front, and none at the back.
To be honest, it was somewhat daft:
They argued - yes I will ; no you won’t; and then -
Not at your age; if not at my age, then when?
But it was impossible to stop her (so willful ! )
Without actually putting the dress out of reach.
She couldn’t stop her from wearing the dress so awful:
Girl cringed as mum wiggled it up and down the beach.
