Go on, say something.
After my last post, I have decided to behave with a little more decorum, which is nice of me and has taken a special effort since just yesterday I came across an article discussing the fact that more and more women are electing to have "labiaplasty", or surgery to reduce the size of part of their genitalia for "aesthetic reasons". God help us.
Oh. Well, so much for good intentions. I humbly offer the following as penance:
Contrition.
I came back with good intent
(Gave up naughtiness for Lent)
Not even in the cause of good debate.
But the words they typed themselves;
(Must be wicked little elves
In the keyboard when I try to be sedate.)
Still, no more I'll talk of regions
Which cause cheeks to blush in legions,
For I do not wish to challenge or offend.
I will let all outrage pass,
Write with dignity and class,
And revel in my niceness to the end.
There. I feel better already.
(Much less interesting though.)

An excellent penance poem indeed. I especially like the bits in ( ). Do you feel cleansed and pure now?
But I hope that day never comes when you stop saying something that might possibly cause offense to someone :-)
People are doing crazy things to their bodies these days. You don't offend me.
xx
No chance Maria. I confess I am a little more circumspect in print than I am in in person, but I'm sure that'll wear down over time too. Let's just say I am I am temporarily, partially cleansed.
Grace, I'm glad. I don't seriously think I'll offend anyone, and if I do, they an either say so or simply go elsewhere. This story just horrified me though. It's a big step on (backwards?) from the odd tattoo and piercing!
I had to laugh when I read your post, because a local radio personality here joked about a website offering the operation and asked a female co- anchor, "so, how do I approach my wife with the topic?"
"You don't. End of story."
I got the impression it wasn't cosmetic, but the female equivalent of penile enlargements. People are just ridiculous sometimes, aren't they?
Such wit in rhyme
is surely no crime
and to those you offend
may they never descend
to depths such as yours
which deserve our applause
Because Margie, you know
You are never too low
except most importantly
where you are geographically
If this is what you do for penance, repent some more dear Margie! We love it...and you!
On a more serioius level, and by the way, I have to agree with your dismay at this story....this amoutns to mutilation!

AHA!..love the poetic rap marge..mc rapper.. and vals too..lol..
No margie you must bring these contoversial subjects to the table...after all it's out there..
course if you had mentioned this at the womens institute general meeting..well..you would have been castigated..and thrown out the village..
personally i cant even think why anyone would want to plaster their nether region up..i mean how are they going to go to the lavy!??...
;0)
And looking at my last comment, I really must learn to check my spelling before I post.....good grief..that's another form of mutilation...to the English language! I'm ashamed...bad VallyP!
Oh you're a lovely lot.
Anne-Marie - I love that. A brilliant riposte! And you're right - the article I saw was to do with purely aestheic surgery. No medical reason such as pain or obstruction. Just misguided vanity and a perceived pressure to conform to ... what - the latest porn site?
Vally, you are generous as ever about my daft scribblings, and thank you for your wonderful response! You're right though; it is mutilation. And by what yardstick are these poor souls being led to believe they are so far from the "norm' that they need "corrective surgery"? And what sort of men are they shacked up with who would encourage it? Major erk.
Gypsy - I can't think of a worse place to be castigated than at a WI meeting. All that blood on the scones - eurghh. As for the lavvie thing - doesn't bear thinking about. So thanks for making me think about it you wretch. Must be tubes involved for a while I think.
Nit just major erk, Margie, they're shacked up with makor jerks...the only word for someone who would sanction such butchery for the sake of what....their own pleasure? Yuk!
That aside, good to hear you had a few days R & R at the coast. Just the best way of re-charging the batteries. That reminds me of equally precious weekends I used to take on the Natal coast when I lived in those wonderful southern climes. Can't wait to go at the end of the year...although I ca't complain today, it's glorious here for an April day - at least 27 degrees! xxx
Oh dear oh dear, my typing gets worse every day...where do I start...NOT just major erk, but MAJOR jerks! It's so strange because I hardly ever make these mistakes in Word...well that's my excuse anyway and I'm sticking to it!
Anyway, dear Margie, big hugs for your kind words on my other blog, and also to let you know I've published a further wee offering on WW...now let me check, I can't see any mistakes here but you can bet that once I press that publish button, I'll see one I've missed...sigh!
Hear hear!
I'd actually caught this sooner but...;)
I need to follow this myself. Hehehe:)
