Hello, Concerned Parent. No need to worry. It’s not your 14-year-old daughter.

The girl in the poem is based on a real girl, though. The part about the shower is made up, because I didn’t go to school where she did. I didn’t know her personally, but I was around her a few times at parties or other events. She said her name was Shaqueena, but it might have been spelled differently.

She’s white, or at least she appeared to be. I didn’t know her family. I’m guessing she’s late thirties to early forties by now.

The part about how all the girls were jealous of her is definitely true. I’ve never met anybody who has better self esteem than she did. I wish I could be more like her.

Thanks for asking. I do understand why you’d be worried about your daughter. Mine is grown now, and I still worry. Fourteen is a rough age, or at least it was for me.

I am just about falling out of my chair right now. So funny!

You know, I never thought about that, though. Could it be a straight girl thing? I just thought it was a “girl” thing. (And a boy thing…sheesh).

I had a different post set up for tomorrow, but now I’m going to die if I don’t put up another boob poem. I’ll try to get it up tonight or tomorrow. It also involves homicide. HA! HA!

Thanks, Holly! It’s great to see kin folk!

Julie, I thought you might get a kick out of this. From reading your posts, yes, I think we are kindred “spirits in the material world.” (One can never go wrong quoting the Police.)
SO, I read this poem to my sister, her partner, and my mother…none of them laughed. I think they were shocked. I was like, “You guys wanna hear the best poem I’ve ever read?” (and I really meant that on a level)
They didn’t get it. In fact, I joke that my sister and her partner are the most conservative lesbians I’ve ever met (and of course I don’t mean that in the political sense)…hehe.
My sister’s partner said: “I guess it’s a straight girl thing…”
I thought that was really great! All us straight girls going around obsessing over titties…it’s so true for me, but I’m actually “bi” whatever that means…and I’ve been so proud of mine since I gained weight and became a D cup!!! teehee…

Thanks so much, Holly. A celebration of all things boob…I like that! Maybe the boob monologues. Ha!

Thanks, sweetie. I will link to you, too. Right now!

I meant it when I said I was busting my gut laughing at your previous posts. I think you might be one of my relatives…ha.

Julie, Shaqueena is the reason men wrote on cave walls. May she live forever…

BTW, I’ve linked your site to mine. Thanks for everything…
