UPSKIRTING 2

entry picture

In order to avoid all doubt I thought I better had

Re-post this piece which last time round made many people mad

Who bullocked through its irony and saw me as a cad;

So let me plainly state, “Don’t go Upskirting”.

 

It is not nice; it’s horrible; enough make you swear

And never mind Box Brownies – you shouldn’t even stare

And anyway you couldn’t in the case of girls who wear

The length of tweeded frocks you’d find Our Gert in.

 

Take up a wholesome hobby if photography’s your game

And snap a coastal sunset or your pet inside the frame;

This way you won’t be in the local press with all its shame

Associated rightly with Upskirting.

 

And so without the fear of contradiction let me say

To all you prissy snowflakes there’s no need to look away;

There’s no mistaking in this poem – it’s black and white not grey

You mustn’t, mustn’t, MUSTN’T, go Upskirting.

And where’s Seanin Hughes when you want her? This must meet with your approval, surely?

Common sense appears to come in snorting fits and starts
Catching comments from the likes of me - condemned to be old farts!
But old enough to remember those days of mini-skirts
Designed and worn by women with men allowed to be flirts.
But men then had enough to see to occupy their time
And note - "insulting behaviour" was even then a crime.
And there's no way in the wildest mind
That indulging in upskirting
Can be less than criminal and anywhere close to flirting!

It has become clear to me, WM, that you have to say the right thing.

Thankyou, Don and Taylor.
I rather like the idea of this poem being removed like my previous one for saying exactly the opposite of the previous one.
Arse and elbow would spring to mind.

Skirts they go upping and blouses go down
All things are happening in Uppingham Town
Adenaline's rising, boy's can't keep it down
John says be wise boys, and just settle down

Boys

Now John you are taking
Our fun all away
Victorian times
Have gone, passed away

John what are you trying
To do to us boys?
Of Uppinham township
Who just want some joys

We just wanna let
Our adrenalin run free
And upskirt our girls
You undertand? You see?

(Think I better stop John....Thanks for giving me something to let my mind run wild on ..?)

As bad burned as scalded, Ferris. The last one was ironic but deemed literal. This one is literal but will it be deemed ironic? Or maybe it's a subject one is barred from writing about at all. We'll see.
