Shirley Hawkins Poet Rhyme

Ta Ta Tattoo

Ta Ta Tattoo
I don't like you
I wish that you would go
I had them done when I was sixteen
At this age, I didn't know
One day my skin would wrinkle
And crinkle up my Tat's
Now all is seen is a patch of ink
There's nothing fashionable about that.
I wish I had been wiser
And listened to my Mum
My old Tat's look dreadful
How could I have been so dumb?

L Milton Hankins July 30, 2021 at 6:34 PM LOL. You know, that's why my wife would never get a tattoo, because she had a feeling it would sag in age with her skin. So true, eh? I never got one either...but for different reasons. I heard it hurt! Shirley Hawkins August 3, 2021 at 7:50 PM I don't have one either. They are very popular in Oz at this time. It amazes me that so many very attractive young girls have them....
