ha ha ha! Your poem really had me laughing! It really made the point of how uncomfortable bra shopping can be, depending on the circumstances.
Well done!

Comment from Mastery
Hi, Gypsy. You certainly have employed your good sense of humor with this poetry:
"In scoping out support to keep these tweeters at attention,
the aisle containing that looks like a mini-tent convention.
And so I slowly creep along, in stealth, dressed incognito,
assessing - through dark glasses - what may suit a pair of pillows."
A fun poem for sure. Well done. :) Bob

Comment from CrystieCookie999
Well, it sounds like body parts have a mind of their own, so to speak. This is funny and just a little naughty, too. People don't realize how difficult it can be to go lingerie shopping. Quite the adventure described here in humorous terms. Three out of 24, that sounds about right.

Comment from Dave-Aranda-Richards
Wow such an entertaining and hilarious narrative. Great rhyming and structure. When I was in High School I had a part time job in a department store. One day the mananger sent me to learn women's lingerie...I did ok until I asked a lady what cup she wanted and she said; "Honey when they get this big, there ain't no cup." I'm still red-faced.

Hah!!! Now that's a funny story if I ever heard one!! Ya poor bugger; jaysus she musta had a HUGE laugh at your expense! I'd be writing a little short story about this experience if I were you - how entertaining would that be?
And thanks for a great review Dave by the way; very much appreciated. But I enjoyed your tale more than my poem, I can tell ya!! xoxoxoxoxxoxo
Comment from joan marie
Flopper stoppers. Great words. You need to copyright those unless that is a colloquialism. I chuckled throughout. Artwork is great. Although, largeness is not always what it is cracked up to be as you so aptly put. Dated a plastic surgeon who did a lot of reductions due to shoulder and back pain. Great write, joan marie

Thank you my friend! Trust me, if I suffered back or neck pain because of 'em, those d-cup whoppers would've been reduced to b-cups post haste! Glad you enjoyed this! xoxoxoxoxoxxoxoxo

Comment from Judian James
Well you sound massive and finding a bra might be harder than sewing two small tents together! Brought a good laugh Chris. I'm pleased to have a good bra but I love setting the "girls" free each night!!

Thank you my friend!! Nah, I ain't massive, but stacked enough to experience torture each time I go to buy those wretched flopper stoppers! Like you, I let mine hang free every night as I can't stand the restriction. But to walk down the street in public like that may cause a minor earthquake ... xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxxo
Comment from Susan E. Pennycuff
If I rated you on rhythm alone I would be giving this a four
If I rated you on rhyme alone I would give you a five
If I rated you on content alone I would give you a ten, but since that isn't allowed and the highest I could go is six, then we shall say six.
Now if I add 4+5+6, that = 15 and we must now split that 3 ways to get a score of 5 ( but I sure wish tht rhythm was sound cause I am still laughing... lol )
You get a five from me dear and thats because this is just hilarious!

Thank you very much Susan! I laughed at your mathematics (knowing I do have an inherent and frustrating meter problem), and laughed even louder when the final average worked out to 5!!! I am very glad you enjoyed the content so much - I do work on my meter always, but it doesn't sit with everyone all the time. Must be individual beat things or something! Anyway, thank you for a hilarious review, which was constructive as well, and as said, I'm glad you enjoyed the content as much as you did! xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
