Did You Enter The Contest?

What Length??

The first time I heard it, my ears hurt

Perhaps I was misunderstanding?

Were they mispronouncing a letter?

It soon became clearer and clearer

That teens everywhere really meant it!

Elegant, classy, and tasteful skirt-lengths

Are simply old and fermented.

Protecting with honor and strength

Has sadly become most abhorrent;

But the horrible way that it sounds!

Is once-standard class that repulsive?

Would anyone buy a new lipstick

Would anyone try on a jacket

So why would a girl try that skirt nowadays

And bury this label forever

The length that so closely protects you

And keeps us all safe and secure

Must lose its unseemly derision

I challenge each one of you out there

Even you – with the cynical smirk

To think up a flattering title

The girl or the woman who sends in

The length-name which earns the most votes

Wins $250 in cash

Sponsored by me (and some folks)!
