Tease Me

Derives from Burlesco Mockery, ridicule or joke! A change of meaning now? I think sexy fits better folks. Girls putting on silk hose An artists paint to paper. La femme fatal. They peek behind velvet draper. Like a slow day moving Then rapidly comes the night. They tease you with their bodies Yet with oh such slight. A life dance with such soul Old school at its best. Keeping you entranced Even while fully dressed. Canned heat that slowly rises Above the lookers on. Burlesque is a talent Brains mixed with brawn.

Yes, "sexy" is a good way to describe burlesque, Kristen. Love the line that says "Canned heat that slowly rises." Very cool image here. Best wishes in the Burlesque Contest! For your new contest, I'm still trying to decide which style of music I like best. I really love so many types. Quite a challenge. Have a great Sunday! Carolyn
