My Bikini Days Are Over
Just a light bit of fun. If you can't laugh, you got nothing!
Looking in my full length mirror,
bikini days are done I fear
What once were proud, hang too low
and cellulite now steals the show
My glory days have come to pass
too much bounce and too much ass
Gravity is not my friend
I now fall out when stooped to bend
It's not as bad as in my mind
but to myself, I'm seldom kind
I'm not twentyfive and should be proud
I should strut my stuff, it's allowed
Insecurities I must face
I'll wear the suit and OWN the place!
Down to the beach in skimpy suit
I'll sashay and leave them mute
into the water I'll dive with ease
(I really am a horrid tease)
Freedom is mine, I shall not care
what you think of what I wear!
I can wear a two-piece, yes I can
and still turn heads on any man
Confidence brims, hear me roar
bikini days are here once more!
back to the shore I boldly walk
amidst those eyes and all that talk
now what is this? what's the trouble?
I look down, it bursts my bubble
a quiet hush now, I wish there weren't
bikini swept off by ocean current
My bikini days are over....

thanks Strider, it's all in fun. If we can't laugh at ourselves from time to time, we have serious problems.

Never fear M'lady-
So once did fair Aphrodite emerge likewise from the sea- and she's done o.k. for herself- Trust me in this - plenty of swains still appreciate a callipygian beauty.

LOL. I have no fear (or shame, for that matter).
I think we have to see the humour in life and in ourselves.
Thank you for the words my friend, and for once again making me consult my online dictionary. It has become my constant companion since we met!;)

Similarly laughable in tone to Pam Ayres' "Do I have to be sexy at sixty?"

I still have to check that one out Solomon!
IMO, sexy is not a look or a type, it's an attitude and a state of mind.
Always appreciate your comments.

That was a nice laugh on a dreary, overcast day. Since you need the song, this brings to mind "Gravity" by John Mayer.
