Long Dresses

Reading about the 

"Good old days" 

When doors were opened 

For us 

And spring came gently 

With muslin skirts 

And flowery hats. 

Elegant carriages 

(But oh, the horses 

I do feel sorry 

For them) 

( and no antibiotics, 

What then?)

It boggles the imagination. . , 

But does make for a good story 

-Can't wait to see how it 

Ends 

She will undoubtedly hook up 

With the old lover she 

Is pining for 

And all will be sunshine 

Once again -

And I pine for you 

But for different reasons , . .

It is a different time 

I can come and go 

I have freedom 

I have rights 

The court can say 

He needs to 

Stay away -

I - as a woman -

Have every right 

To that !

And long dresses 

Would get old -

Real fast
