/// Here’s Slevogt’s Female Nude from the Back.
Pale flesh contrasts with hair of jet black.
Is this woman a beauty?
She displays a large booty,
but we can’t see her face or her rack.
/// All she wears is a pair of red slippers,
(not the footwear preferred by most strippers),
and beads in a long strand
which she “earned” on demand
at the Mardi Gras, unzipping zippers.
/// Some folks stare at her butt and they snigger
“butter face,” yet the chub-chasers dig her.
Whether spied on by pests,
or the butt of their jests,
eating butter builds bigger butts better.
/// “T” and “A” are a focus of passion.
Today’s preference may go out of fashion.
Men who once has a yen
for Sophia Loren,
now go ga-ga for hips of Kardashian.
/// I must say, lest I seem to be snooty
in the course of my limerick duty,
that she’s more than her parts,
and, no doubt, she has smarts
and exudes a profound inner beauty.
// Zelda hates to stand out in a crowd.
She is modest, not overly proud.
See those rugs at her toes?
Their bold patterning shows
that her taste in attire is too loud.
/// So, she’s chosen to live as a nudist,
and, although she may not be the cutest,
she avoids looking garish
when she strolls through the parish.
(Of the town’s many prudes, she’s the prudest.)
/// Just in case for this nude you are pining,
should she beckon, consider declining.
On her back, we behold,
grows a slimy green mold.
She’s the nude bathtub-ghoul from “The Shining.”
