Vying To Be Famous
Reaching for the stars
Is infuriatingly a challenge
I’ve now lighten the load
I’m already airborne
But I got to try harder
Baggage is holding me back
Every single garment over yonder
Floating in the winds, discarded
The weight is now reduced
I’m now within reach
Success is within sight
I’m on to my last piece
Others may see me as nude
But who says flaunting is disallowed?
‘cause I’m not being that prude
Is it a fault to be well endowed?

You really "rounded out" this go getter. She could be more than a shooting star! So much life to this...well done!
ReplyDeleteWonderful! Loved the last line!
ReplyDeleteNo, it is a gift to mankind.
ReplyDeleteWhat is God's gift to women? A fair question I grant but not one I am well equipped to answer.
ReplyDeleteI asked my wife and she said "AA batteries'.
ReplyDeleteDon't know what she meant.
