The h2g2 Poem
Created | Updated Jun 22, 2003
British girl Jenna Franklin was recently promised a breast enlargement by her parents - as a SIXTEENTH birthday present. The postponement of the operation for two years - after the surgeon ruled that Jenna was too young - has not stopped the popular press from having a field day.
Too Much, Too Young
Even though it makes me nervy,
One topic must be discussed:
Is it mad, or sick, or pervy
- If she wants to be more curvy -
To turn logic topsy-turvy
And enhance a schoolgirl's bust?
It may seem a gross atrocity,
Might betray parental trust;
Kids today have such precocity,
They grow up at high velocity,
Demand their right - with some ferocity -
To drive classmates wild with lust!
Tunbridge Wells at action stations,
Shaping to kick up some dust,
Brushes off its indignations;
Doctors fear for reputations:
Cancel. Leaving this great nation's
Pride intact - but only just!
