A word of explanation: This was posted on another site and was written as a challenge. I was given the phrase "from the purse, her bra spoke to me" to put into a poem. This is the poem. Then a discussion grew about the difficulty of wearing a bra. The second poem here was a result of that...hope you like them:

From The Purse, Her Bra Spoke to Me

Disheveled she took a seat
across from me on the train
her eyes wild and frightened
brow wrinkled as though in pain.

Two holes emblazoned her stockings
like warrior decorations
a lacy slip showed slightly
though forgotten in her preparations

On second glance I saw her breast
peaking from the imitation fur
from the purse her bra spoke to me
something terrible happened to her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Jockstrap

Cradled softly against your manly groin
I support your precious jewels
I never stretch or snap or bind
for I guard your masculine tools.

No pulling or tugging on these straps
the design is for comfort you see
no latex, spandex or cotton twill
nothing but soft ecstasy.

So run, young man, fling yourself about
be secure that you won’t be hurt
Each day you where your jock strap
be glad it’s not a skirt!

First time reading these. Hilarious.

I saw tragedy in the 'Purse' however the 'jock strap' inspired me;


I'm going to have a mamogram
please come along with me.
Rejoyce that they're not squeezing you
and offer sympathy.

Then when I exit from the room
please note I didn't holler.
Just take me to a shopping mall
my bra size now is smaller.

I like humor in poetry. Loved the Jock Strap

I hate the smell of passing gas,
But, at times, not to explode
I need to ease the pressure til
I find a good commode.

That's why, each morning when I dress,
Before I don my clothes,
My jock strap goes on backwards
And then no one ever knows!

As always, deVine one, you inspire me.
