/// In the clearing are multiple stumps
where the weary can rest on their rumps.
But when she (long of shin)
sits, her knees touch her chin,
so she proudly stands tall (never slumps).

/// Her diaphanous gown drew his eyes;
it revealed her desirable thighs.
But she barred his admittance,
for he’d offered a pittance.
(Wouldn’t wait while his boot polish dries).

/// The young bootblack was not in a rush.
So he dawdled with polish and brush
as he furtively peeps
like the other male creeps.
Unlike them, he could feel himself blush.

/// The woman, for her part, stood proud.
Her beauty could still draw a crowd.
She knew later that day
she’d meet someone who’d pay
the right fee for a femme so endowed.
