Made in God's image...
I guess this means that Yahweh
doesn't wear hotpants

Thigh-ku
wheel of fashion turns
that once old is new again
thighs are Rubenesque
air bags can save lives
boy scouts all say "be prepared"
thighs will break my fall
vroom vroom, sparks, friction!
something smoking this way comes
thighs in corduroy
penguin wisdom shows
why walk when you can waddle
speciation comes
earth shakes, buildings fall
what comes - is it godzilla
no, the thighs of spring

About Thigh-ku
Thigh-ku was invented in Montana, as a way for hearty northern women to herald the impending approach of spring.
After regulating their body temperatures through the harsh winter months by eating excessive quantities of snack crackers, they dreaded those first warm days, when the protective sheath of their thermal underwear must give way to more revealing attire.
In order to face this inevitability with grace, they would compose and share light verse in celebration of their congealed appendages.
Some even made a tradition of gathering at coffee houses on the first of April to recite thigh-ku and drown their vernal regrets in tea and chocolate.
Since its inception, this cathartic verse form has branched out to include expressions by men, and even by thin people who live in southern climes.
This blog is dedicated to the appreciation and dissemination of thigh-ku expression.
