PAINTED LADY I love the way you toss your hair as if you haven't got a care. The skimpy skirts you dare to wear that barely touch your derriere. The fishnet tights - right up to there! I love your painted ruby lips. You have the cutest finger tips and as for your child-bearing hips that bring out all my Freudian slips! Your wardrobe that is full of whips, thumbscrews chains and bulldog clips. I love the outline of your breast and when I gaze at you undressed I boldly stand at your behest, await the call to be your guest but, painted lady, I suggest you trade your basque for a thermal vest. You're seventy four! Give it a rest!
