Soft Touch

(Madame is pronounced with accent on maDAME, the French way)

Near a hole in the wall, with no qualm,
Never seen, sits a frumpy Madame.
Using lotion, she works
Giving smooth strokes and jerks
With her fabulous and renowned palm.

By Andrea Dietrich

*This is the theme of a movie I saw on cable.
Its name is Irena Palm, the name a widow takes when
she goes to work at a club in order to make enough money
to allow her grandson the surgery he needs to save his
life. It's not a *****, but her "work" is a bit erotic yet discretely
portrayed. It got high marks from the critics. My writing this
was inspired by Deborah Guzzi's Limerick Contest and now
I enter it into Skat's contest!

Delighted to have been in that first with you for the Limerick. Such a thrill. I noted we both had the same theme more or less! Many congratulations to you, DÉirdre

Kind of like limerick. A bit risque for the Soup! I just ordered a Henry Miller novel through the mail. I usually write Tolkiensque poems but I think I should take time for something a little "hotter". Yours Matthew Anish

Good one for the contest, Andrea. I don't think you'll get in any trouble, but you certainly are giving Deb what she wanted. Surely a winner! Love, Carolyn
