Viva la Zaftig!

Models on a runway
Look like skeletons in clothes.
Skinniness is what’s expected
At the fashion shows.

So mannequins reflect that trend
And thus are thinly shaped,
Conforming to how we expect
To see their outfits draped.

But not in Venezuela
Where the mannequins have grown,
Presenting bigger boobs and butts
Than those before had known.

The shoppers want voluptuous
So factories complied
And Dolly Parton look-alikes
Are what they now provide.

The stores report that sales are up
Since all the clothing racked
Is fetchingly displayed up front
On mannequins so stacked!
