Great poem....I can completely relate....Hilarious! Great poem....I can completely relate.<BR/><BR/>OK.....here's my story. A couple of years ago, I decided to go to a tanning salon. I had a big reunion coming up and was feeling winter pasty pale. I had never been before, so I asked the women in my office if they had. Turned out 90% of them had! Who knew?? <BR/><BR/>So........they sent me on my way to test it out. Long story on the first attempt (it felt like lying in a coffin......have since brought my favourite music with me)<BR/><BR/>I came back to the office and told of my impressions, but that I would try again. They were adamant that I be careful not to burn my breasts which had never been tanned before. They went into great detail about how painful it can be etc. I promised them I would be careful.<BR/><BR/>The next time rolls around.....I'm cognizant of "covering up" only to find out that when I laid down on the tanning bed, my breasts were no where to be found........they were UNDER MY ARMPITS!! <BR/><BR/>Aging! It's yucky sometimes.....and one just has to laugh about it. :)awarenesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06098432781380754899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25694715.post-59903845987975924782007-12-30T13:12:00.000-08:002007-12-30T13:12:00.000-08:00Kicking and screaming, with my bottom at my knees ...Kicking and screaming, with my bottom at my knees (hanging down there with my breasts).<BR/><BR/>A delightful post!Patois42https://www.blogger.com/profile/07764936858778730692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25694715.post-85735268885875302202007-12-30T12:09:00.000-08:002007-12-30T12:09:00.000-08:00this is fantastic! truly fantastic. i kept nodding...this is fantastic! truly fantastic. i kept nodding my head as i was reading your words.luziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08022932534962118811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25694715.post-91503062876070756822007-12-30T11:45:00.000-08:002007-12-30T11:45:00.000-08:00Saving this post along with my fantasy that I will...Saving this post along with my fantasy that I will grow into the beauty of Georgia Okeefe in her <BR/>8th decade.
