"Steven D. Carr" or "Why Large Bosoms are Not Always Preferable (an allegory)"




I

Steven D. Carr,
He went to the Bar
To pick up a date for the Prom.
A Viking girl came,
She shouted, "I’m game!"
And left, dragging Steven along.


II

The large maiden fair
Aroused gasps and stares
As she and young Stevie walked in.
And try as he might –
He could stretch his frame tight –
But still only came up to her shin.


III

Little Steven reached 'round,
Arms encircling her gown,
(Or at least, maybe halfway, I’m sure…)
And he said, "Darling Love,
I shall thank God above
For a woman so clearly mature!"


IV

The Viking girl smiled,
So completely beguiled;
She picked up poor Steven, and then
In her ample embrace,
He was gone, with no trace!
And we never saw Steven again.


The End
(of Steven.)
