Eight o' clock
Still too early for her
To appear in spray puffed
Hair that one could pull
And a face so badly rogued
She can't be passed off
For a Moulin Rogue extra
Lipstick in fire-engine red
Lashes in overly heavy mascara
And I wish I could steal her short,
Short denim skirt that can hardly
Cover her crotch.
And the pair of fishnet stockings
That had a few snags
She has a pretty pout
While pulling a deal
With that balding man
who had a snake tattoo
On his arm saying
He'd pay her only a thousand.
And while I'll be tempted
To have my way with someone
To be paid for only one thousand
Pesos per night isn't enough
For another roll on the hay
For a dirty pretty thing
Like me.
*Note: Months ago, I was with my aunt in a hotel. The strange thing is, the hotel we were in was a very posh establishment that was supposed to screen any people who are coming in and out of the hotel. Then again, they're not allowed to be too discriminative, right? My aunt and I were just surprised as to how she got in, dressed as she was. Although my aunt and I had a laugh about the whole thing, I realised something. Society isn't always gentle in treating people decently...even those like that girl. So I wrote this poem in the point of view of "another" prostitute like her. (I am very sorry to use the very blunt term)
