The Recurring Nightmare
The Recurring Nightmare
By Elton Camp
Is this a dream that you’ve often had
That you went out too scantily clad?
But to that revolting social mistake
Nobody any notice ever seems to take
From what at malls and beach I see
That dream too often describes reality
I see one who’s dressed like Daisy Duke
The sight of her fat behind makes me puke
There’s a young man walking in the store
His pants sagging, shorts showing. Abhor!
Then comes a stout woman with midriff bare
To look at her why would anyone really care
Along strides an old woman dressed like a teen
Dress too short, low in front, far too much seen
Full-length mirrors must be in very short supply
If they looked at themselves they say, “Oh my!”
