Could Have Been Worse

My friends have not seen London,

They’ve never been to France,

But yesterday at recess

They saw my underpants.

images

I kicked a ball, my skirt flew up

And I know what they saw.

The girls all stared and blushed and laughed,

The boys said, “Oo-la-la!”

I’ve thought a lot about it.

This conclusion I have drawn:

I’m embarrassed that they saw them,

But I’m glad I had them on.
