Mae West Sensual Frog was the ultimate diva
Who outshone saloon gals like Francine and Steveah
Attended parent teacher conferences in a sexy gown.
Green eyes popped out of new teacher’s head, Mr. Toado Brown.
Mary Jane ‘Mae’ West
Her double entrendre was simply the best
On how her life should be depicted
Said ‘I used to be Snow White ~ but I drifted’

Mae West
one of Brooklyn's best
her quotes were more witty than kind
like "A hard man is good to find"

Miss Mae West
Party animal heart in her ample chest
The wily lady a player without reservation
"Come on up and see me" her not so subtle invitation!

My husband fell in love with the beautiful Mae West.
I knew it was because of her oversized breast.
"Mae is beautiful," I retorted, "but small chested girls also like to hug."
"You and Mae," he laughed, "is like comparing a Cadillac to a Volkswagen bug."
