HATTIE (Ode) by Nicholas Monson

O, dearest lady, You curvaceous beast! Thou, whom Nature has adorned With spills of flesh, Forgive me, I, who once did mock Your ocean thighs, Your porpoise arms And wind-swelled cheeks Your rubber dingy breasts! Forgive me, For I did not dream I'd on you float Or in you Sink and drown.

Dear Rebecca,

I am deeply flattered by your kind remarks and your vote. I must confess that I have always known this poem as FAT LADY. But it seemed too crude when I uploaded it onto the site. Inspired by Hattie Jacques of our British Carry On films, I called it hattie instead. Miss Jacques was big. But I am sorry that it has coloured your perception of the name. I know a Hattie. But she is slender. As ever, Nicholas
