A Bust At The Senior Prom Poem by Belle Wassermeister

A Bust At The Senior Prom

Rating: 5.0


What's a flat-chested girl supposed to do
when she wants to look good
for the senior prom?

My friend suggested that I buy an over-sized
bra and stick a couple of balloons
in it, but I thought:

They wouldn't look right:
they'd be way too light!

I had a very modest dress,
nothing strapless, as you might guess,
and then my mom thought of the ideal solution!

'I have it solved, my daughter!
Fill the balloons with water!
Then they will seem more real,
if someone should get a feel! '

'Nobody is going to get a feel, Mother! ' I said,
but still, I thought that her idea
had quite a bit of merit.

So to the senior prom I went, with new boobs
that seemed heaven-sent, more well-endowed
than I'd ever been before.

Things went quite well for a dance or two,
until one balloon started leaking through
the fabric of my prom dress.

My date was staring at my chest in horror
and he whispered, 'Sweetheart! Why didn't
you tell me you had a baby? '

'We need to get you home to feed it right
away! Come on, there's no time to delay!
Honey, you are lactating right through your dress! '

Hahaha....all the way. As seniors we are so confined at present....this made reading poems at PH so worthwhile. I think I have discovered a good poet. My best wish for you. Keep on posting.
