Cynthia Lost her Knickers…

by Mary Payne

Cynthia lost her knickers.     

but she can’t imagine how. 

She had them at the Club “Nautique”. 

But doesn’t have them now.   

Good thing her frock is rather long.  

and goes down past her knees      

She wouldn’t want to show the goods

in this September breeze.   

She took the tram, she walked a bit.  

She even took the bus.  

That’s quite a ways to do without  

'fore having lunch with us.   

Funny how we feel secure with

just a scrap against our body.

and without a pair we start to feel 

that somehow we are naughty.

If you should see a puddle 

of sprigged polyester blue. 

it’s better just to turn your head, 

pretend you never knew.   

There’s not a shadow of a doubt

that Cynthia has brass.

But even she’s going home to change

before her Bible class.

Ps. I wrote this last summer...most of it is true.
