OOH-WAA!!

Post by Trisha Patterson » Thu Jan 27, 2011 3:31 pm

OOH-WAA!!!

Her star had burnt bright on that hot stormy night
Till she got to the golden guitars;
She entered stage left looking somewhat bereft;
And the air reeked of rum and cigars!

The crowd started cheering and whistling and leering;
And applauding her fashion faux pas!
She made a mistake… with her shirt not "opaque"...
And she wasn't wearing a bra!

Sorry to pick Trish..I think you might need to say " her shirt's not opaque " cause opaque is the opposite of see-through. :oops:
You know me, always helpful ...ummmm ;)

It was perfectly clear to me Neville :lol: what Trish was showing - but no doubt your points were made. ;)

Thanks Neville,
That's what happens when you rush and dont think! Just proves... "Good poetry isn't just written...it needs to be "re-written"!
Cheers
