The Brassiere - a Fatal Fashion

To medics, a breast is a purse
Enriching both doctor and nurse
A bra strap tattoo
Is better for you
Than an early ride in an hearse!

There are billions of women with deformed ribcage and shoulders with substantially reduced blood circulation who never needed a bra in the first place where as men, like myself are quite handy at being, "boulder holders". Mahalo! Rico

No, by Jennifer's poem about getting a tattoo, as a bra strap tattoo would at least serve a useful purpose. My grandmother endured a double-mastectomy - not because there was any sign of cancer, but simply because the surgeon thought she didn't need them - at least as much as he needed to increase his cash reserve for a European vacation!
