The Stripper

I settled down to watch her strip, A beer can in my hand. Impressed, I hardly took a sip - She’d be in great demand. The music blared, its rhythm wild, She worked up quite a sweat. Amazed, I clapped and she just smiled - She hadn’t finished yet… She took it all off, every bit, And turned to take a bow. This decorating job’s a hit - I’ll hang the paper now.

This is the first entry I've seen for Miranda's burlesque contest, Jack. You did a great job painting the image of this woman. Wishing you success in the contest! (Would you believe I've never seen any type of burlesque show so I wouldn't even know where to begin writing of it.) Soup mail returned, my friend. Love, Carolyn
