Sense Sonnet - Tickler

Fit for Fit

Ever since Eve and the fig leaf,
Women's fashions have become a source
To cause the ladies lots of grief,
Mental and physical in course.
Especially below the belt
Has been the butt of ridicule.
Not caring how the the women felt,
Critics said stuff that was quite cruel.
Hoops and bloomers were skirts that got
Jeered right off of the fashion scene,
With many a ribald cheap shot
Addressed by folks who were just mean.

So hoops and bloomers went to waste
With ons and offs of fashion taste.
