Corsets In a Shop Window

Shocking and disgusting the old ladies said 
Enough to turn the meek a delicate shade of red 
What would I wonder a man of the cloth say
Would he tut tut and complain and look away 

The old men probably laugh as they walk on by
The young ladies probably embarrassed and shy
Teenagers shrug and really don't really care
Men in their twenties double take and stare 

So what you ask is the cause of this commotion 
It is certainly not a drug and definitely no potion
I saw them the other day with my own two eyes
Corsets in a shop window is definitely a surprise
