I'm a boy and by me that's only sad
But I’m proud that my face is not craggy
I appear as a woman so it’s not all bad
with a form that is swishy and draggy
I adore being dressed in something girly
When my date greets me at the door
Out I go with my Annie, May or Shirley
like the classy elegant femme whom they adore
When I have a brand new skirt on
With some lace that is gracing my hem
And my nails are so pink and press-on
I enjoy dressing en femme!
When girls say I'm cute and lovely
And I get adoring hugs from them
Even when some tower quite above me
I enjoy dressing en femme.
I go wild when they hug and embrace me
I shudder with all the kisses on my cheek
From all the attention that may grace me
‘Cause it’s just that sweet attention that I seek
I'm strictly a well dressed female
And my future I hope will be
In the arms of another female
who still loves being a girl, having a girl like me
When guys say they’d really want to date me
I try not to buy into their hype
And hope to God that they don’t go ahead and hate me
When I explain just why I’m simply not their type!
I want someone who will buy why I’m dressing
Understanding why I’m garbed like them
Who will dig just what I’m confessing
That I enjoy being en-femme
When she can stay and not go fleeing
She’s not threatened by my ilk
A woman who understands my being
And just adores me in taffeta and silk
I'm strictly a well-dressed female
And my future I hope will be
In the arms of another female
who still loves being a girl, having a girl like me
based on
I Enjoy Being A Girl
from the Musical
Flower Drum Song
music and words by
Rogers and Hammerstein

'silk and taffeta,a lovely cocktail of dress material.The softness of the silk
and the rustle of the taffeta really has that girly feel about it,so feminine,
so lovely.

and so much wanting to sing along ....

I like both your song and the pic.

You like the pic, 'like' does not have enough passion
or meaning to capture the beauty of the women on the
picture. Such beauty should be loved, and praised
because it has with it an inner beauty. A beauty I
am not qualified to express in word. Perhaps, we share
the same problem, and you were more honest than I, and
thought it best to not even attempt to go beyond 'like',
for fear you might not do her justice.

Thank you, Drea
What a lovely song. I shall sing it quietly to myself in the weeks to come as I shop for that elusive, just so dress for the Father of the Groom for my son's wedding in August.

Dance, Love, and cook with joy and great abandon
That's A Gorgeous Gown
And a very suitable song. Once upon a time (sigh!)

Your poetry is beautiful, I read it sometimes, your are no doubt
the author on BCTS that contributes the most in stories and poetry
with a quality that few can match. I am drawn to your work,
not by what you write but those beautiful pictures of women that
accompany your work. They have a mystery and a beauty about them
that I am not qualified to express. But my heart sings for joy
when I see them. Thank you for your written work, and thank you
for the pictures of such beautiful women, women that have a mystery
and inner beauty that always brings me joy when I look at them.

A thought at bedtime
It's late and I just thought I'd pick a story at random... and what do I find?
You 'Drea....again...... and the words...
And my future I hope will be
In the arms of a lovely female
who still loves being a girl, having a girl like me
What a wonderful goodnight message.
Love you!
