Thank you very much flea0420! I am in bliss when smooching with my pet boy Hercules. He's the biggest animal we have, but the most docile, with a bit of cheekiness also. Beautiful boy and I love him to bits (love the others too, but this one'll die here) xoxoxoxoxooxxo

And waving up and down'. Bloody hilarious. Oh, rhymed and metered well, too. This MUST be a contender! Love, Ray xx

Oh my. You must have written it for me. I have gone to sports bras only with my neck and back trouble they give added support even it they don't perk the old gals up. lol I should have had that reduction years ago now it's too late my neck and upper back are shot from the added weight. At 13 it was a hoot having the well endowed boosom at 46 it is a drag, literally. hehe. I guess we can't have it all in the bra world. Great entry. Thanks, Jeanette

Nah, the bra world is dominated by those dominatrix of A's, B's and C's!! However, the reign of Venus in all her curvy glory is making a comeback or I'm a monkey's uncle.
Just call me Uncle Grilla.

Thanks so much as always my friend; your reviews are always a pleasure, and this one got me laughing!! "Perk the old gals up" lol!! xoxoxoxoxoxxo
Comment from Amfunny
Very good. It was fun to read and also, unfortunately, a topic I can relate to very well. It flowed nicely and the story worked. Good luck.

Comment from debskatz
Hi alpacalady,
This one is GREAT!! You really had me laughing. And thanking the Good Lord above that mine aren't anything like that! Heck, I haven't worn one in over 25 years! As they (now one) are double A's, I just didn't see the point. But one of my sisters has megamelons. With permanent strap marks & stretch marks to boot. And back pain. Oh, no. Very happy to have my double A thank you very much!! lol
Good luck in the contest!
smiles,
deb

To say nothing of the 'Cross Your Heart, Maidenform, Lift and Separate'. See how much I know about the 'double-barreled sling shot'. hehe

*ROARS IN LAUGHTER!* Good gracious girl, seems you and I have been shopping together after all! I loved this from first word to last. Your awesome and witty mind comes through with a real blast. You KNOW I identify with this all too well. How I long to be a "B" --though NOT a sparrow's knee...that would be like a mosquito bite, right? lol Absolutely FANTASTIC work, my Princess Xine!
With much love to you AND your ta-tas!

Oh, and much love to your wah-wahs!! Now there's a poem right there my Cherubic darlin'!! Ta-ta's and wah-wahs ...
Funny, I was thinking of you, soul sister, as I was writing this and wondered: hope she sees this and gets a laugh out of it! And you did! My day is made all the sweeter for bringing you a smile. Now, let's make a date and go bra shopping together ... we'll need two days (a day each), lots of high sugar food and lots of alcohol at the end of it. Name the day my dear Queen Cherub!! all the besta love and hugs to you! Xine xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
-
It's a date! I mean it! I must admit, my dear sister, I was reading through your reviews and came across this fine belly aching line:
"Lucky though, they ain't saggin yet ... if they do, I'll stretch 'em right out and use 'em as weapons ... "
Forgive me for asking, dear Princess, but just what kind of weapons did you have in mind? Hmmmmmm? Inquiring minds need to know!
*ROTFLOL*
-
Well preferably something resembling cat-o-nine's, but if I am in a tussle, I may have to settle for hopes-on-ropes ... xoxoxoxoxoxoxxo
-
cat-o-nines? OUCH!!! I'd like to see THOSE nipps! What is a "hope on rope" weapon? Never heard of such a thing! (For some odd reason I am reminded of the Amazon Warriors!) lol You are too too cute, my princess! xoxoxo
-
Well, it's my version of tried for the cat-o-nine but failed, so these limply darned long, willowy things'd better do the job ... hence, "hope's-on-ropes". One prays one will never be in a position to have to use 'em tho' ... xoxoxoxoxoxxoxoo
Comment from Russel Chale
I think I'll just give you a full hand of stars for the rhyming poetry. There were two things about this poem I wanted to pursue, but it seems I can't put my finger on them at the moment.

Keep yer two hands to yerself my fine NZ-er!!!! (I was gonna ask what two things then the penny dropped ...) Ah well. Blondness rules atop those floating tweeters it seems.
Thanks so much, not only for the review, but for putting a very wide and very cheeky smile on my face you naughty boy!! xoxoxoxoxxoo
Comment from Nancylou
I smiled when I read the title and had to read it...funny... and only us women can really relate to buying a bra, especially those large ones! But you have captured it with rhyme and humor in such a way that who would have ever thought of it...but as I read in your notes, it was a contest. Since I'm new to this site, thanks for sharing your writing in a unique challenge. Funny!!!!

I can't stop laughing, Chris. You are truly a nut. 'Tweeter' peaking from their cups'- oh my God, hilarious. Oh to have such a problem, but then again, at my age, B's are perfect cause they ain't hanging down to my navel. LMAO here....... Fantastic entry. Has to be a winner. You have my vote, if I can make it to the booth without peeing my pants laughing.......Loved it. GO GIRL! Joyce

The fact this got you laughing is what it's all about! And this poem is a true story; I literally HATE bra shopping, but have recently discovered one of our discount stores stocks beautiful, low-priced bras that FIT and I can buy loads of 'em so I only have to do it once a year - woo hoo!! Lucky though, they ain't saggin yet ... if they do, I'll stretch 'em right out and use 'em as weapons ...
Thanks Joyce for such a fantabulous review! xoxoxoxoxxoo
