Hortenese Reads a Romance Novel

Hortense Reads a Romance Novel By Elton Camp The cover picture is easy to understand Beautiful woman with bare-chested man Into her lusty eyes he does peer Their intentions are quite clear It’s a book designed only to sell So needn’t be written very well Sexual scenes loosely connected From such drivel is expected Unrealistic expectations it arouses As the couple bawdily carouses Perhaps I have no right to bash Say only a loser reads such trash Since I’ve never read a single one How can I say they’re not fun? At least it gives Hortense a thrill And, for her, it must fill the bill
