Bra-Less Poem by Linda Hepner

Lana when she had to wear
her stuffy, scratchy, underwear,
fell for the ploy and put it on;
was paid quite well by Mr. Jon.

Linda when she wore her first
felt stifled and about to burst.
She tore it off and ran quite wild
all round the park, but sadly child

lost out to woman, and she had
to put away all freedom, bad
to let it fly, they told her, then
she thought she'd have revenge on men

and so she glared at them when they
thought prodding her was sexy play,
and made them fumble with the hooks
until they groaned, let's stick to books

and kept her virtue for some time,
until she let a witty Hyme
undo her heart, at which she shed
her underwear, and so to bed.

Inspired by GWH's:


Lana, sweater girl defined,

when finding bras to be confining,

said merry widows were designed

by men, supposedly designing.

Initially, the merry widow was a trademark of the famous Maidenform company, which designed it for Lana Turner's role in a 1952 movie of the same name. The term “merry widow” for that type of garment caught on as more were manufactured for the general public, and Maidenform ultimately lost the trademark. Allegedly, Turner complained about the garment during filming, since her merry widow was rather uncomfortable. “I am telling you, ” Turner is said to have proclaimed, “the Merry Widow was designed by a man. A woman would never do that to another woman.”.. As with other foundation and support garments, it is very important to try a merry widow on before purchasing one. Most merry widows are sized by bra size, so women should make sure that they know their bra size, so that they can purchase a correctly fitting garment. Since a merry widow is not very adjustable, the comfort of the fit along the body should be checked at the time of try on.
