The Unsupervised Stop Sign

Many years ago,
girls wore girdles.
The tight uncomfortable things,
they held one in tight.
One summer's night,
I snuck my girlfriend out.
We were off on a double date,
a night of fun and laughs.
Her date found her girdle,
the unsupervised stop sign.

Thanks for reading/writing and for your best. Glad you found this to be adorable/very creative. A true story from many years ago. Year ago, I hated girdles but had to wear one for work. The rest from the computer did me good. Hugs.. Have a blessed weekend....................

What a brilliant story youve told us in few words, it always amazes me when one can tell so much in few words. So impressive. Is this based on fiction? I can only imagine this and laugh! Fun read, double date and to be in that situation where her date finds the girdle is hilarious. Unsupervised stop sign , you’ve written for this in a very unique way! Love it! Goodluck for the contest

Giggles galore, Paula! The '60s left the '70s in a bit of a toss-up amid 'Moon Baby' being easy and 'PC' egad ouch (inclusiveness)! A beautiful family later was its best resolve. Aloha, William

Lol,oops!! Well, not anymore, thank goodness! Aren't you glad girdles are basically a thing of the past? Seriously, those things were like the descendant of corsettes! I Hated using one after I had my fourth baby (and my husband for buying it for me, lol!) ;)
