DOUBLE-FRUSTRATION

· Calif.

I'm feeling funny, strangely weird.

I guess I must be oddly geared

-though just a girl who likes her clothes, Adores herself in every pose, In every drape of what I wear I've got a feeling it ain't fair . . How can I say it!?

Well, I played

With a boy today,

displayed

My prettiest things a fashion show (Just for his benefit, you know).

Things got fun, and funner. He Did look quite a bit like me When he tried on my things. Neat! He really did look awfully sweet. And such a change!

Changed so!

His flat, slim form

I helped him to conform

To balanced, graceful curves like mine,

Slim, yet full and fine of line.

Clothes changed him so, and for the better.

Cozy in big skirt and sweater

And in a ballerina . . . gee! . . .

Such a change. All she. No he!

So here's what makes me feel so weird (And it's what few girls ever feared!) I long to be a boy, so I

Can change miraculously,

like him.

(Oh sigh!)
