Notes About The Poem

I Love Stripping

My husband loves watching me strip
go on Jan, you can do it he urges

As each piece glides to the ground
my body quivers with delight
It’s so satisfying
slowly peeling off the layers

I eventually reach the climax
and let out scream of excitement
as the final piece of damp wallpaper falls to the floor

Poet's Notes ...We are having a new bathroom installed tomorrow – my hubby has removed the tiles whilst I have stripped off the old wallpaper
