Mary was a little tart
All the girls called
her a ho
Because everyman in
town
Had seen her down

Are you wearing your hair in a bob?
I think they’ve done a
good job
It makes you look like
a flapper
No, I didn’t say you
were a slapper
From the roaring
twenties, a party girl
No, I didn’t say you
were a tarty girl
Instead of having your
hair cut short
In order to prevent
any auditory, distort
And to stop you miss
hearing things
You should have had
your ears syringed
In green leathered comfort
I sat in a
Chesterfield
In an atmosphere
That totally appealed
Among my piers
In silent appreciation
Almost a reverence
Of our quiet situation
A brandy on the table
A cigar in the ash
tray
And the world held
Well and truly at bay
I’ve enrolled my son
On an evening class
for
Learning how to dry
towels
By not leaving them on
the floor
Red silk clinging,
Accentuating
Each contour
Each curve
And when she moved
It moved with her
Like a soft caress
I saw her and thought “not a fan”
She was all extensions
and fake tan
And she’d applied the
slap thick
And her lips needed a
chap stick
I thought it again as
she left lipstick
Around my undiscerning
dipstick
I was stuck in traffic
And cursing they delay
And whatever problem
That was in the way
There was an accident
Bike versus van
Resulting in Life changing
Injuries To a man
And my one concern
Had been the
inconvenience
But though I was late
I was not as a
consequence
Left unable to walk
Or injured in anyway
Yes, I was late for
work
But I was still ok
