Calamity Jane

Everyone was staring
Frozen in their seat
Down the stairs
Made quite an entrance
Calamity Jane
Without her underwear

Her buxom figure
Generously in full view
For everyone to see
Down the stairs
All watched Calamity Jane
In her birthday suit

The whole incident
Might have gone unnoticed
But no such luck
Frozen in their seat
Mouth wide open
Everyone just stared

Down the stairs so clumsily
Had I not tripped
No doubt we could have
Saved the life size portrait
Of Calamity Jane
Au naturel
