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
