Women's Lament #579

I remember being so ashamed when everyone's legs were nicely
shaved
Mother said I had to wait until 6th grade
But that was such a long time to wait
Whatever would I do
for 3 months with legs like a bear in the zoo?

How I long for those days now as I stand in the shower
Not wanting to shave but not having the power
To stand up and say "No"
I won't waste my time
for some guy who'll be gone at the drop of a dime
