You Can'T Judge a Book By Its Cover

French proverb: L'habit ne fait pas le moine. English equivalent: You can't judge a book by its cover. My interpretation: The work one does is not always an accurate indicator of the kind of person he…or she…is. Most strippers can't do more Than just "bump and grind", But I know one who reads Every book she can find. From Dr. Seuss to Schopenhauer, She devours volumes by the hour. She plays a bibliophilipic role As she swings 'round that phallipic pole, Which adds a high degree of class To an act that's mostly t**s and ass. And while she's raking in the tips, She's turning pages as she strips. As those who scoff at her soon find, Her brain's as big as her behind, And then they whistle and applaud And all her attributes they laud, For she's no intellectual fraud, Nor is she some tawdry bawd. I know her name is Ermentraude, But on the grand marquee out front, she's "Maude, A broad with a broad, broad mind." Author's note: Remember, dear P. Soupers, reading is fundamental.
