Booty Elegy
Since birth round & plump
Proud skin hills for shaking
Hands did cup said rump
& squeezed in ecstasy’s quaking
Weight loss gradually strains
Of the padonkadonk story
Only the padonk remains
Goodbye big booty glory
New muscles tight & serious
A curious shape holds space
but(t) still can dance delirious
Any time any place
