Gnarly Knees (Free verse) by Dovina
Cut and bruised kicked in soccer swollen from track. Mother worries I’ll never marry. But I wear my dresses short to attract the One who will say: I love you and your knees. May the four of us grow old together.

Up the ladder: Woman on the Stairs
Down the ladder: ugly parade

With knees like those, you will attract a handsome and rugged man and have many a great out-of-doors "adventures".

Yes, may it all come true. Trouble is my knees are smooth now, having given up all that rough soccer and all. Hiking and biking are still good though.

What if he says "I love you ON your knees"?

Then I will assume he means it in an adoring way, of course.
