Vocabulary Builders
Like pieces of fruit
exposed to radiation
they grew
the summer I turned thirteen.
AA to DD in just three months!
That September I was queen
of the girl’s locker room.
Even the rich girls in lace
panty and bra sets
quit being mean.
Boys talked about me now
and I overheard:
breasts boobs knockers
hooters honkers zonkers tits
mammeries zobies lungs
My vocabulary grew
like an infestation of fruit flies—
nothing could stop it.
