A Double Life

No one knew that Mavis was a stripper,
They thought she worked at Tesco on the till.
Most folk knew her since she was a nipper,
No one knew that Mavis was a stripper.
A woman always cheerful and chipper,
She twirled her tassels publicly, but still
No one knew that Mavis was a stripper,
They thought she worked at Tesco on the till.

It's funny to me how the simplest of comparisons can illuminate the duality of the soul. Such humanization is severely lacking in our world thank you very much for writing this!
