Really Real

She stated quite emphatically
"I must have liposuction on my thighs
fat is protruding everywhere
right before my very eyes."
She later thought
that wasn't very much fun
but now my thighs are perfect
I must continue on.
Next in line is a tuck
for my bulging tummy.
Don't even think about laughing
it's not even funny.
Just as soon as I get this tummy tuck
it will surely change my luck.
Guys will come from miles around
to see the finest washboard belly
in this whole town.
She's not half finished yet
can you guess what happens next you guys
I can clue you in it's absolutely
positively not Betty Davis eyes.
Yes the time has come to spice
up that shallow chest.
Her next desire to be fulfilled
a brand new pair
of those saline implant breasts.
Now I rarely see her face
just two large breast protruding.
And when I hold her in my arms
they feel like two gun barrels intruding.
I kid you not
they seem to beckon me
to come and touch and feel.
Still the simple thought runs thru my mind
with every bulge revealed.
If these are fake
why do they look so real.
and how could something
this large and luscious
not be really real.

If God had wanted everyone to look perfect, we would.  This is very well written James.  Everyone is an individual and as such we need to look the way we look.  Great Write!

Ah James...what one would go through for perfection. But in my humble opinion, one should be thankful for what they were given to begin with and learn to be happy with it

Thank you Marina and Hoot Owl for the nice responses...I am sorting out my feelings myself on this...I have watched two women go thru this experience and I have tried to understand the driving forces...
I believe that we should accept who we are and find peace with ourselves yet some will seek the soothing of the plastic surgeon...will they then find the happiness they reach out for...I don't know...the solution is complex not simple...  James

When one is not happy with the inside how can they be happy with the outside.....at least that's how I see it~  Great writing James...and very thought provoking~

I have to agree with you Butterflies...totally...and yet if one is not satisfied with the outside how can they be happy inside...James

its a constant battle within ones own
self esteem

An endless circle of turmoil.  This is very thought provoking and perhaps we all need to be able to just accept.  The world we live in is so judgemental it is no wonder problems such as these have consumed us.  The happiness I believe must come on the inside and when it does then the outside is lessened in impact....Great write.

jmlee12345,
This is priceless. What a talent you are, and with a range from the mountains to the ocean. Good work.

James, a whimsical look at a serious subject. Healthcare is one thing, but body altering is certainly another. The future will be quite revealing to us as to just  what these procedures are doing to the women (and men) of today.

I myself can not relate to this as I have never known anyone to undergo unneeded surgery...Plastic surgery in my book should only be considered as a last resort for something life threatening or deformities or obesity or whatever I think you know what I mean....But you added humor well to this it was an enjoyable read...... < !signature-->

Thank you Janet, Mark, Bill, Meadow, and Julie.
Janet this is written from personal experience as accurately as I could portray the facts, feelings and desires.
I have tried to look at this from a non-serious perspective...yet I am serious this is happening all around us...James
