Poem - The Bum Deal

Rather than post in the poetry competition I decided to just share some work with all my friends.

For that post Christmas over-indulgence feeling

THE BUM DEAL - Rita Ames
As debuted on The Funky Writer show - episode 176

Now I know you might be wondering
If this is all about my bum
And if I’ve done a deal
To get a smaller one

And if so, am I willing
To share that deal with you?
But then, what fun in that
If you were skinny too

My eyes glaze over as I dream
Of a waist of two hand spans
A slinky dress above the knee,
heels higher than two tin cans

A splash of red upon my lips
Can finish off this look
All eyes will light upon my hips
Wondering, what pill was it she took?

The truth is bleak as winter snow
The real bum deal is this
Your man should love you as you are
And seal it with a kiss

So with a very knowing wink
I’ll leave you all to guess
How big I was before
I squeezed into this dress!

**Incidentally - I write poetry for Authors who want a feature for their book. email sales@craftyaboutart.com (don't be put off by the word sales - I do it for donation only (if you like it) and a credit/testimonial.
