OMG Poetry Contest Winner #1 (and a GBC Teaser)

Winning Poem #1, FASHION SENSE by Lesley C.
Oh. My. Gods. Phoebe,
look at her outfit.
Did she walk into
her mother’s closet
this morning?
That neon pink top
looks like
a grotesque bubblegum,
all stretchy
and wrong.
AND IS THAT
A HIGH-WAISTED
BELL BOTTOM JEANS?
And someone please tell her
earrings aren’t supposed to
jangle louder than your cell.
Ha ha.
There’s just no accounting
for taste, is there?
What’s that?
THERE’S A STAIN ON MY HOT PANTS?
WHERE?
Oh, your mistake.
Phew.
Good thing I have
a friend like you
to make sure
I don’t look
end up looking
like HER.
How fun was that?

And now for one of your last GBC Teasers.
Clearly, the gods aren't taking that into account.
By the way, I'm pre-posting the winning poems (only on Blogger) because I'll be making a cross-country dash with my parents this weekend. Back next week.

Hugs,
TLC
