In Rebuke of the Grinning Harlot

She strumpets all into the nights until 
around her head the build-up's like fetid, gross cheese; 
her lewdness makes the earth and sun stand still: 
Lord! What miracle it'd be were she just a tease! 
Her grinning face I loathe and never miss;
to greet her with a large and phallic pecker  
delights her—but I swear to God on this: 
that I felt then the extreme need to deck her  
at the knowledge of her one-hundred lovers!? 
Deceived by her (that wily Lolita!),
I curse then forswear her and flee for cover 
vowing henceforth to shun that Medusa.  
     So with luck and some serendipity,   
     I abscond her wiles with no STD!
