We Would Be Known As Flappers

Years down the road we will be known as flappers In 1929 we are known as outrageous open hussies Shunned by the church-y women, loved by the nightclub crowd We are to be feared and adored, yin and yang, laugh at our frivolities. Play girls, fun-lovers, life enthusiasts, dancers, singers, swingers. We giggle and jiggle our way into your hearts, or out of them. Depending on how deeply indoctrinated you want to be. Mesmerizing some, scaring your wives and girlfriends. We have bobbed our hair, shortened our skirts, and we have sass. We are tired of the hum drum staidness of life, we are ready for action Retaining our youth; yet you are keeping daughters and molls from us. We live our truth, reminding daisies to be themselves and shine.
