Sister Buys a Neck

Swedes grow skinny like trees or round like bushes. Little sister was a bush.

For a long time she desired to be svelte like a tree and thought,

I'll buy me a neck

and collar bones to go with it

and elbows

a discernible waist

shapely hips

and daylight between my knees-a first

to go with my oval  face

flawless complexion

dainty nose - slightly crooked

cascading tresses

tacked up tits-Goodbye Army issue bra.

lopped off belly

dainty feet

and soft manicured hands

so I can shop at Victoria's Secret

wear chiffon and boar

that red silk bat-winged dress I always wanted

and dancing slippers

so I can play with Mr. Right

And she did, proof a bush can become a tree.
