Brazen Hussy

Low cut, high slit bold exhibition

Of lace covered breasts

And mesh covered thighs.

Pheromones broadcast a wide-banded signal

To capture attention from ogling eyes.

 

Heads turn as brows raise and lips purse

And quiver, marking the moment inquisitively.

What is the message?

Where would she take us?

What substance is hidden beneath what we see?

 

Good Christian girls could never imagine,

Nor Hindu or Moslem or Orthodox Jew,

Such brazen and bold, such craven behavior

The temporal world has fallen into.

 

But she flaunts and flitters from one to another

Like hummingbirds feeding on nectar like wine;

Using the wiles that nature has given

To capture the bounty that clings to the vine.

 

And men being weak, as the creatures they are,

Are helpless to fall for the spell that she casts,

And wind up alone when the time comes to pay for the meal,

When it would have been prudent to fast.
