Aww, it's actually a pretty sweet poem. As a young girl I would've been more embarrassed about being dressed as a tree than saying bosom. But I also would've rhymed it with blossom.

Karen’s School Picture. Kristy took Karen to the library to show her book characters who wore glasses. They were all elderly men, but Karen was cool with it. Santa Claus, Owl from Winnie-the-Pooh, Geppetto from Pinocchio, the White Rabbit from Alicin in Wonderland, John from Peter Pan, Doc the dwarf, and Scrooge McDuck. The graphic novel updated this list to not further depress little girls with glasses. It listed Santa, Oprah, Benjamin Franklin, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the Dalai Lama, and Albert Einstein. I also deciphered Elton John from the illustrations, and there were a few that I couldn’t figure out. Karen’s Hurricane. Karen and her nanny, Merry, were working in the kitchen. Merry was all “I need music while I work” and flipped on the radio…to violins playing. That was a Marilyn Monroe movie, Some Like it Hot, from 1959. Karen was like “I’ll say that quote myself some day!” Karen and Andrew got scared the night that the hurricane finally rolled into town and crawled into bed with Lisa and Seth. Lisa sang “Que Sera Sera” by Doris Day. That’s a horrible song to sing to them! The chorus is “Que sera sera. Whatever will be, will be. The future’s not ours to see. Que sera sera. What will be, will be.” I know she meant not to worry, but it comes across a bit like “if we die, we die” in that situation.
