Primly folded hands in lap Dainty hankies crisp in fold Thoughts suppressed to please ‘don’t be so clever or bold’ Follow that little girl over there With hair of gold and sunny smile Make your mommy proud of you I’ll make it worth your while Nice girls get the best in life You’ll see when you are older So practice being sweet, my pet, Don’t practice being bolder Suppress those feelings if you can And keep your hankie clean Vanilla blue is the color for you Speak little and don’t be seen |

Nice poem, but very politically incorrect, This fits well with my age, but the modern age doesn’t want sweet girls, And seen not heard. Tsk tsk on you, You sprout Female oppression Keep up the good work Gloom did I mention I liked it |

Very well said, Lady.. You always have this honest direction. I love the messages in your writing. For all who watch.Dare you say hello? Come in and ask the questions that are on your mind, but spare me your judgement until you truly sipped of me. |

Nothing like I thought, from the title. But very interesting. From the days when kids were seen and not heard. Good replay of the past. Sandra [This message has been edited by catalinamoon (02-16-2002 10:12 PM).] |

I think this tends to have the opposite effect--I too, was taught to "not bang my own drum"---now I just bang everybody else's!!! ROFLMAO....love you for this one!  See? Sisters are not just born, sometimes they are twins of creation!!!! |

PDV, you and I must be around the same vintage.....This poem reminds me of the way I was treated as a child.....of course it just made me rebel and act just the opposite. I asked my husband if I should take a class in assertiveness training...and he said that I should teach it!  Absolutely first class poem! copyright2002 Lyra Nesius |
