Let it Be

Just poking a little fun.........

I'm suffering a mid-life crisis

as some of you might guess

my world is just in shambles

and my head is quite a mess

 

and everywhere that I might go

I'm faced with media shite

to buy their stupid products

and believe their insane hype

 

are you ready for my ranting?

no, you shall not make me stop

they want my wallet and my mind

they beg for me to shop!

 

wrinkles are unsightly

we must be smoothed and plumped

bovine, equine injection sites

those chemicals are dumped

 

they'll fill me with their bondo

paralyze my brow

saline b***s or silicone

it doesn't matter now

 

 

crows feet, hooked beak

won't you let me be?

can't I just be left alone

completely chemical free?

 

there's pump up bras for those that fall

those girls must rise again

media hype is killing us

it's time to raise my pen!

 

fat-free dressing underwear

thanks to Maiden-form

tummy flattering wonders

to make your muffin top conform

 

not content to stay above the belt

they've now gone marching down

invaded my sweet delta

it's the talk of all the town

 

seems Brown Betty's in the box

for God's sake let her be!

won't be middle age that does it

but the cures that will kill me

I work in retail. Woman have a million choices to look younger. I wonder sometimes do they work? I like aging myself. Youth had it time. Good to understand life and know what you need and want. I like the description in the poem. I watch woman in the make-up aisles. Like looking for a miracle. I tell young people. Don't smoke. Cigarettes will slowly cook your face. No weakness in the fun poem to read. Thank you for the excellent poem.

I am in agreement with your rant... one of the biggest problems in this world is the media brain washing the masses all in the name of the all mighty dollar. Not to mention them trying to influence what beauty is... trying to say that skinny is attract, there is nothing attractive about malnutrition and looking like a skeleton.

thanks for reading Dale. I would say I agree with you, but my mouth is full of shortbread and buttertarts, so I will just nod my agreement. ;)

And you are not sharing tisk tisk

Perfection and eternal beauty must be served.
Women should subject themselves to extensive--and, if need be, painful--surgical enhancement endeavoring to meet these goals.
They cannot question; they'd best not complain.
We, the men--Natural Lords of the Earth--have decreed it so!

[LA Lorena]

Oh Frank, you are back and as full of shite as ever! ;)

[Neva Flores Smith - Cha..]

I love this, do you mind if I share this outside of WC?

[LA Lorena]

I would be most flattered if you did. Glad you enjoyed it.

[Neva Flores Smith - Changefulstorm]

Thank you :)

[Annabelle Lee]

Haha. This was wonderful, Lorena! Well said!

The things women put themselves through to be younger when wrinkles aee much more brag worthy for you've earned every one of them. WINE GETS RIPER WITH AGE, same goes for girls

[Annabelle Lee]

my apologies.... my keyboard raped the shift button

[LA Lorena]

Thanks for reading and I'm glad you enjoyed it

Animals look good in their coats and we love em to bits so why can't we love what we are, or have: warts, wayward waistlines, bushy brows or broad backsides!? Surely the recession means cutting back on vanity, not keeping up with that Joan or John, but .. making do with what we have or are and behave like grown ups! Good on you, rant away, feel free .. let it all hang loose, or something ..

[LA Lorena]

thanks for dropping in Em!

[emmajoy]

Just keeping eyes open and lips sealed - for a change! Happy be your thoughts. :)

Oh, this is truly spectacular, I can actually hear you shouting in my ear. I think our generation might have half sense when it comes to being bombarded with all this shyte but I feel for the young girls today trying to make themselves into Barbie dolls. Great rant!

I thought you said you 'weren't'. ;-)

[LA Lorena]

I'm not, but your question yesterday got me thinking, and inspired this.

Poking Fun ? this is serious "shite" the media is horrific and to see the masses under it's hypnotic spell is horrifying ...

sigh ...

[LA Lorena]

[Robin]

sharp or dull ?

[LA Lorena]

dull always. no maiming. that came later. ;)

[Robin]

I actually used my fingers , for awhile , til I learned that lesson - the hard way

[KAOlmsted]

As a middle-aged woman, I must applaud you, ma'am...I absolutely do not understand these people who have had more work done than my car...I have not bought a cosmetic since 1997...(oh...hair dye doesn't count because sometimes I just like to change up the look...it has nothing to do with vanity) ;-) Brava...thank you for sharing this.

[LA Lorena]

[quinfinn]
