The conventional wisdom
since the donning of my bra days
has restricted and confined me so
that at the end of the day
I've had enough
conforming weight
to stoop and rut
my shoulders
that I would gladly
doff it off
like lingerie

Let me get that for you. I don't want you to strain your back muscles.

This is just too cute. Love the honesty and open appeal.

Good work as usual.

I tend to prefer a sports bra. My girls require an athletic approach these days.

I thought they were designing those bra's so that they were more comfortable and . . . er . . . natural.

serenity & Jerry- the poem was about conventional wisdom right? Okay good, for a minute there I thought you thought it was all about underwear.

Maybe you wrote it about conventional wisdom, but it came off about wearing bras to me.

If it's any consolation I knew it wasn't about underwear!   But, yes, I agree with you - discard it all!
