Playing Innocent

Innocent

She stalks him with cunning
Like a cat on the prowl,
And gives innocent glances
At things not allowed.

A glimpse at a thigh,
Innocent peek of breast,
Strung tight as a violin,
All nerves with no rest.

He's just the latest mark
For her garter belt,
Playing Miss Innocent,
So hot she could melt.

A breeze-lifted skirt
Not so innocent it seems
Makes sure he gets a quick look
At forbidden things

She's ready for the kill,
So excited she's moist!
The slaughter of innocence,
Her victim of choice.

But soon she'll grow tired,
Bored with the time spent.
Once more to go prowling
Playing Miss Innocent.

Yep and they knew exactly what they were doing

Some call women the weaker sex, they're not. They have a commodity that men want and some use it to much advantage. Respectfully, Rett: "If life is a bowl of cherries, why am I in the pits?" Erma Bombeck

Well, let me put it this way

If I was 40 years younger, I would not have turned my head. Couse 40 years ago I would have had a hard time turning my head to any of them. **LOL* Respectfully, Rett: "If life is a bowl of cherries, why am I in the pits?" Erma Bombeck

Great work

Smiles:) Barbara I must say you have outdone yourself on this one. I have two teen daughters,19 and 18 and I teach them to respect themselves and men. so they know i will say something no matter because I do not allow that. not even from the boys. don't know what they do when i not around, people don't mind telling us when they do something things un becoming of a young girl or boy and they still get told.

I know what you mean Barbara

My daughter wasn't allowed yet I still don't know what she did away, but my granddaughter, who is age six is being taught to be careful how she sits or plays when wearing a dress so I think some of it wore off. *LOL* Respectfully, Rett: "If life is a bowl of cherries, why am I in the pits?"

Nice poem

This is a new slant. I guess I am not used to women as being the seducers. I guess If men can so can women. I don't personally know any of that type. And I am glad, my sons don't either. Good rhythm, rhyme.

Thanks Patty

Helping out at the corner store you would be surprised at what you can see. Some of the most surprising people buy Zig Zag papers and Sundays is a hoot. They come at a little after Noon and buy their beer wearing their Sunday go to meeting clothes. Fresh from the sermon to the beer.

Rett liked this one a lot! I used to work at a gas station and I once had someone ask, "Do you have any papers?" Being the totally sheltered girl I was I piped up, "sure the Grand Rapids, and The Detroit Free Press, right over there. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "There's no trick to being a humorist when you have the whole government working for you."

That is a hoot Janice, but I know what you mean. the first time I was asked if I knew any "Heads" I said, yeah, and the bodies too. *LOL* Respectfully, Rett: "If life is a bowl of cherries, why am I in the pits?" Erma Bombeck

Have you considered the socio political aspect?

young women learn it is a power they have over men You can't blame them or chastise them, you can ony teach them that power is not big. or sexy, it is themsleves. The again I hate telling lies to children, power is big and sexy. cheers, Jess

That is true Jess

Much as I hate to say it, but especially now, the young girls seem to realize their power earlier and earlier. Respectfully, Rett: "If life is a bowl of cherries, why am I in the pits?" Erma Bombeck
