Roxy
She sports her darkest glasses
when the moon's in ascent,
supports herself on crutches
after each accident.
Have you heard her practising
her Southern accent?
Y'all gonna vote for Roxy?
She's wholly unoriginal
and kinda third-rate,
the sort of individual
that words can't translate.
You think she is invisible
but come the big date
she'll get your vote by proxy!
She's painted in mahogany
'cos some like it hot,
she's waiting on monogamy
but man, you know what?
She's putting on the agony
when you hit the spot -
X marks the spot for Roxy!
She shows off her inflatables
to boys in the tank
and gives them an insatiable
itch in their pants.
She's strictly unobtainable
to those in the ranks -
she gets their vote by proxy!

It isn't likely that this is as obvious as it might seem at first glance. I don't know who 'Roxy' is, or what the name lampoons, or personifies ... could be anything, which is actually very appropriate. Sarah Palin does come to mind. The poem is very well done with its consistent rhyme scheme and the musical scanning. Could you possibly be referring to the famous 'sweet spot' of female genitalia which seems to be so little known?
