Good Girls Will
Everyone knows good girls will
go blind
*looking at that
*reading that
*touching that
go insane
*learning too much
*thinking too hard
*touching that
get a reputation by
*befriending too many boys
*testing traditions
*letting him touch that
So if I’m
*not blind
*not insane
*don’t have a reputation
I must be a very bad girl

There's a TV series on in the UK called Bad Girls, about a women's prison. Great series, too.
This is a lovely write and made me smile 🙂

I love that!

A hoot of a poem that knocks the legs from under the table on which oppression of women is served up. Terrific.

I'm having a strange set of reads today – by luck reading companion pieces back to back. You should read Brendan's Bad Girls…goes MUCH further than you do, but taps the same well.
Cheeky, I like that word as used above..in all its layering. Telling someone what not to do is the surest way to make them do it!
Beautifully written. G.

Yep another bad girl here! :0
What's that Woody Allen said … "well can I at least do it until I need glasses."
Sounds like you're a lot of fun.

What did Mae West say — "Honey, when I'm bad I'm bad, but when I'm really bad I'm great. A stiff salute to resolutely crayoning outside the lines. – Brendan

Hello.
So cool. Reminds me of Michael Jackson's "Bad".
Awesome!

Fun and cheeky indeed! Here's to not being blind or having a reputation! (speaking purely from my part, the "insane" angle is a bit more iffy 😉 )

All that I can say is 🙂 Lol!!

Cheeky does fit but I think there's another layer, there's real danger in some places not fitting into the perceived set of rules for women's behavior. When we were in Jordan a Bedouin man smiled at me while drawing his finger across his throat to indicate what he'd do to his daughter if she was not a 'good girl'. Thought provoking, thank you.
