Notes About The Poem

OUCH !!!!!!!

Twenty years ago consulting with Iridology 
to a little shop I'd go
One day seven beauty clinicians lined up to discover
what their eyes would show

At the end of this day 
of extended consultation
To their city beauty therapy clinic 
I received an invitation

They would book in many clients
for me to consult with on the day
No rental fees so
I would receive a decent pay

Their clinic two hours distant
so by train i decided I would travel
An interesting day with some surprises
which would soon unravel

I was under the impression that a beauty therapy clinic
was a women only zone
But many men entering later I discovered 
on their backs they would lie prone

My curiosity overcome, I asked the owner of the business
why do all these men come, there seems to be a stack
She said the "beauty" therapy they receive
 is a SACK, CRACK AND BACK

What's that I asked 
I had never come across that type of therapy before
OUCH !!!! Could instantly feel the pain.
I'm in agony!! Feel I need to roll upon the floor

FOOTNOTE:  Maybe there are many who aware of what sack, back and crack involves . Maybe there are some innocents like I was until told.I have never experienced this form of sado-masochism or any other for that matter, but I'm am told it is waxing to remove hair around the areas described in the sixth verse of this poem. Further spasms of pain just thinking about it.
