Burlesque

My naive picture of Burlesque
Some lovely ladies junoesque
Slapstick humor risky
Dancers rather frisky.
Mom would consider it grotesque.

For Miranda's contest

won an hm

This is great, Joyce! My mom would have considered burlesque very inappropriate. I'm glad you supported Randa's contest and wish you success. Love, Carolyn
