Things We Could Do With Out

Make up, it clogs the pores and makes skin flake. Why not go natural for goodness sake? deodorant, soap and water serves you fine, and a little body odor most people won't mind. razors, they nic and cut and cause a bleed, if hair grows there just let it be. hairspray, it's bad for the lungs, best do it in the yard. It leaves hair stiff and feeling hard. fingernail polish, it coats nailbeds so they can't breathe. People now show feet that make you want to heave. undies, who invented undies any way? Just another thing to take off at the end of each day.

To this day, many Native Americans do without such things. Like feathers, underarm hair wicks away moisture; without the hair, armpits become clammy breeding grounds for fungus - which stinks - and can not be killed by soap and water! You are on the right track, no point at all in sweating up your private parts!

So you know first-hand that women can live happily without cosmetics! Well done!

Most likely better for all concerned. I was fortunate to work a week in 2005 with the Hopi's in Arizona in their school system. It was rather dismal as it was in the winter months and the wild dogs kept coming on the reservation. The children were great though.

Hi Tom, Unfortunately my birthday suit doesn't make me want to flaunt it any more. Glad you got a laugh. Nancy

I'd say you are right on-target, Nancy. I suspect these things were invented to make money, not to actually make life better. Good writing. Loved your rhymes.
