/// Theatre-goers on Broadway can pay
to see stars fully nude in a play,
but NO PHOTOS ALLOWED.
To ensure that, the crowd,
as they enter, lock cellphones away.
/// Special smartphone-sized pouches are used
so no privacy rights are abused.
Otherwise, certain swine
would post crude pix online,
and the actress would not be amused.
/// On the stage her whole body they scan,
but no pictures are shot— that’s the plan.
Yet some might memorize
what they viewed with their eyes
and then paint what they saw… if they can.
/// Thus, this painting here by Anders Zorn,
in which no stitch of clothing is worn.
A Nude Woman portrayed
just the way she was made,
in the “suit” she wore when she was born.
/// (When bad diets obese people quit,
and to eating less food they commit,
they could make themselves sick
if they lose weight too quick.
Then their birthday suits no longer fit.)
/// Though she may have a beautiful smile,
posing “full-frontal” isn’t her style.
I, for one, do not mind
viewing her from behind.
Every angle has sights to beguile.
/// We are naturally drawn to and glad
to see someone who’s cute and unclad.
Primal urges obeyed
means that babies are made
and a lover finds out he’s a Dad.
