Thong Thing Is Wrong

Thong Thing Is Wrong

Thong thing is wrong 
Cellulite women rolled on folds of flesh 
Over waves and seas that crest 
What are those monstrosities  
Whales washed up on beaches

Thin strings not quite bikinis hide nothing 
Obese creatures covered by mounds of pounds
Blot out the sun uncomfortably
As the fat eat Twinkies, dream of being Twiggy

Oh Doris please don't put on weight
Put on your tent.  Save us from nightmares in the day

Tides move when you step in the water 
Displace the natural order  
Fish run from you.  Forget how to swim
Naked can be scary by the sea                 
 
What is that giant thing standing in the sand
Dressed in almost nothing, held together by a string
What waddles down the shore
Thinking a black cloth makes one thin

Oh this fashion does not make for happy
Dreams and illusions bury the thighs in lies
Under the sun filling up horizons sky

Surprise!  Eyes bleed at this frightening sight
Makes old and young cry.  No place to hide

Ocean sojourns once were fun
Watching bikini clad women run
Nudity is meant for others more young
Eye candy, shapely, sexy and thin to begin with


Weight escaping on all sides exposed   
Pretending to be pretty and thin is quite the trick
Girls come in all shapes and sizes
Some have been known to raise the tides 
In disguise, hiding behind a smile exposes it
The thong thing is wrong
Please make it stop.  Make it quit

Hi Kate, It is good to hear from you again. Thank you so much. The poem is simply for pleasure and entertainment and yes, it is a little silly too. Take care. Earl
