Blindsided

Lived a sly lady of Mozambique
who seductivly offered a peek.
Men paid her a buck
but were out of luck.
What they saw was totally oblique.

It pains me to say it, Lindsay, but a whole lot of men are gullible, naive, and stupid (I think I qualify for the first two). Thank you for being so faithful in commenting; it means a lot to me. Hugs, Paul

Thank you, Jan. I cherish words from you, whatever the venue. I thoroughly enjoyed your spring poem. Your muse was obviously operating at full force. We are well (thanks for the wishes), and I'm delighted your islamd has been virus free for 68 blessed days. Hugs, Paul
