School Uniform

I was told that I must wear the school uniform
or be expelled. It was the policy.
No individuality expressions allowed.
So I conformed to the rule,
but I never wore underwear again.
At a job interview I was told I must wear
conservative Business Attire if I wanted the job.
No individuality expressions allowed.
It was the policy.
I conformed, every hair was in place,
I wore eyeglasses,
but I never wore underwear.
I was Wonder Woman in disguise.

I could be a Catholic Nun, but then
Jesus already has a billion wives, and there’s
that uniform I’d have to wear.
Whenever it was discovered that
I loved Rock n’ Roll music -
Oh! What a shock! I would always hear
“You don’t look the type.”
I reply,
"I don’t have a Rock n’ Roll uniform."
