The Girl on the Monkey Bars

The girl on the monkey bars likes to bring joy
particularly to every young boy.
who shows up on the school playground.
As she hangs from the bars, the boys gather round
and stand underneath her. I bet you know why.
To look up her dress, the young boys try.
That girl on the monkey bars – I do declare -
some days, so naughty, wears no underwear.

Your poem was not as "risqué" as this one entry that I did not rank. It was kind of cute though. I don't think I was ever that girl that the boys saw anything even if they tried to look up my pants. I was kind of a girly girl, and I wore my fair share of dresses or skirts. And as I was raised by the boomer with the highest standard of dress, and required to comply even my shenanigans were modest, I think. I though was that girl on the monkey bars!

I always stood underneath so as to catch her in case she fell :)
