Oh my life! I LOVE this! I am not blessed (or cursed) with 'a large rack' but even so, buying bras is an absolute torment. Next time I go shopping for one, I shall think of this poem and chuckle to myself whilst struggling with all those wires and clips! Great writing. All the best. Kat

Hi alpacalady.
I don't know why i didn't see this one before, because I though I'd read all. You have written a funny one in good rhyming verse. Best to you my friend. Fondly, Rebecca

I love this and the word use. It was simple but you know I was able to see where you were coming from. And I can also relate.

Thank you very much mdbdyot! Glad you can relate, though all who relate, like me, go through bra-buying hell ... xoxoxoxoxoxo
Comment from pitmanette
A wonderful take on bra shopping. I always marvelled at those who sigh and simper to go shopping. Me, I'd rather do without than go bra shopping, but sometimes there's no way out! I see older (than me? I thought there weren't any!) women with big uns going tee-shirted and braless and then I feel better about spending all that time in the store.

What a wonderful tribute to your, ummm, girls. Definitely conjures up some pleasing imagery for me, but don't tell your hubby, LOL. Good luck in the contest, my dear.

Glad you enjoyed this, but I'm intrigued about those "images". Hubby'd probably relate anyway ... Thanks also for good luck wishes! xoxoxoxoxoxo

Let's just say I'd probably get tongue-tied if I were ever in your presence, especially if your sweater provided ample cleavage, LOL.

This one is great for a laugh. I don't have large, but wide set is just as bad. They don't make bras to fit. I love the poem and laughed. Great job.

Lol. Now this poem is funny! I enjoyed the shopping spree for a bra big enough yet comfortable too. Wow. Good rhyme and flow, and good topic, I'm sure there are a lot of people who can relate to this poem!> Judy

This is hilarious, Chris - The humour is bang-on and downright funny - Perhaps that's because, I can soooo relate. When I retire mine, I use them as hammocks. Great fun in this poem. I loved it. Rose.

Chris,
I'm with you, girl. great poem and very funny at that. I hate bras myself. They used to be so hard to remove from the ladies. Thank goodness the time came when women burned them in public. Now, what a delight to watch a woman walk down the street and to notice, right up front, she left her flopper stopper at home. love it.
