Tutu

It may have
Been in a barracks
Among soldiers or in a
Crew locker inspection but
The red tutu caught everybody’s
Attention and some harsh questions
Until the sergeant or petty officer
Walked slowly up then with two
Fingers lifted it up to the light
For all to see and asked the
Locker owner to explain
The red taffeta tutu.
It belongs to my
Little girl was
The nervous
Response
To which
The NCO
Asked how
Old is your little
Girl? The reply was
A slow 22 and
The NCO
Looked
At the
Red
Taffeta
Tutu and
Pronounced
Outstanding!
