Boogie Woogie Man

Watch out for da Boogie Woogie man
he's comin ta get ya if he can
Ooh smooth moves soft lips
he's got dem electric hips
A twirling dynamo who likes ta dip
Ya doze buttons ain't safe
dat bra strap's likely ta rip

Look at da twinkle in is eye
He promises ta make ya fly
Yep just wait, me oh my
he'll lift dat dress so high 
Hardly even will he hafta try
he got da moves dat'll make ya sigh
Afterwords you jus be wonderin why

Like I say he da Boogie Woogie man
he's comin ta get ya if he can
Ooh smooth moves soft lips
he's got dem electric hips
Twirling dynamo who likes ta dip
Ya doze buttons ain't safe
dat bra strap's likely ta rip

Ripped bra buttons on da floor
heat's up high but ya want more
He flips ya round four times four
in da shower up against the door
Ya feel da heat deep in yo core
It's like da waves are crashing on da shore
He says "do ya like it dat way whore!"

He makes ya ta feel da shame
So ya run outta his place
lipstick all smeared on yo face
But ya still feel yo heart race
as you clutch dat ripped lace
All yo pleasure gone every trace
if only ya had a can a mace

You warn her about the Boogie Woogie man
"He's coming to get you if he can
Smooth moves soft lips
don't be seduced by those electric hips
That fellow wants to do more than dip
Your buttons aren't going to be safe
that bra strap is likely to rip!"

That was quite the twist. Sign of a great poem when your jaw drops midway, especially when the reader is chuckling throughout till that one spot, coming to that sudden gasp... Masterfully done, Richard.

All this needs is a honky tonk piano in the background played by somebody like Harry 'the Hipster' Gibson and I'd be up and boogying myself, Richard. A great write, lovin' that style. Yo! Viv

Oh me oh my...this one is a sizzler. How did you come up with this hot piece. The must is on fire....That chorus is great running through...All I can think of is...how much energy does that Boogie Woogie man have?

First I thought Boogie Man and then the rest just came to me. I like your energy comment! ;0)

Sho 'nuff, bro! You hit the mark on this one, Richard. Loved the colloquial hip talk. Boogie Man sans the Woogie is a bad man for sure. Great inventive swing this poem has. Could easily be a song. Love and peace always.

Hi just dropped in to read some of your work and boy did I pick a hot one. It reminds me of one of the songs from the twenties. Not that I am that old lol! Good write stuck with the dialect straight through and there was a definite beat to it.

Yeah... I had to go for my walk and come back to it. But I did! True art in my opinion elicits an emotional response. I'm not too PC to appreciate art.

Thanks Maureen. I thought perhaps I went too far based on the lack of responses to this piece.
