Sex and the City

the girls who stand streetwise in tights, beneath the sparkling city lights displaying wares on summer nights attempt to sell their own delights young men and old they will entreat and turn down none in all they meet they pinky vow to be discreet each conquest just a business feat next morn when he begins to sweat from one who should be virgin yet for weeks or more now he will fret on what he hopes he will not get he goes to work each day and then while coming home to his chagrin the feelings stirring deep within soon need attention once again while on their corners much the same stay girls who hawk their claim to fame they wave and call him by his name he stops and simply says, “got game"? © Feb 11 2012 Charles Henderson

Sara, you did. I had the first one on under a different name. I redid with five verses instead of six and made sure my meter was correct and also made the new name. Thank you for your comments on both though. This one is a better poem.
