Working Girl

I’ve made some money,

But she’s made more.

Knock knock!

Another punter at the door.

I slip on my shoes,

Put my lipstick on.

This man is eager,

Again, comes a ‘ding dong’.

He picks me,

I should be happy,

But I have to have sex,

With this vile chappy.

His eyes light up,

As I give him head.

The things you do,

To butter your bread.

Is it worth it,

To make a few quid?

I’m only doing this,

To feed my kid.

I want to punch him,

He’s demanding “more”

I get the urge to pick him up,

And drop kick him to the floor.

I fake on a smile,

And do what he pleases.

He is disgusting,

He smells like four cheeses.

The service is over,

He chucks me a tip,

Whilst looking at me,

Like I belong in a skip.

He leaves the building,

Looking elated.

I’m just a working girl,

Who now feels degraded.
