Ginger Rogers a la Mode
She sat, wheel-chair bound
I stared, a chubby teen girl
too shy to say hi
When I was a teenager, I saw Ginger Rogers in the Baskin Robbins in Medford. I wanted to meet her so badly! But I was way too scared to walk up to this dancing legend and say hello. And yes, I was chubby. Such a sad word. That strange in-between place before fat but after regular size. I also had brillo pad hair and and a really big backside. Ah the teen years were so good to me.
