Beautiful Girl
(for Ogden Nash)
People supposes that under her clotheses
This beautiful girl has a body like Venus
What no-one knows is that under her clotheses
This beautiful girl has a very large penis
They look at her from top of head down to toeses
They see this great swell of two bosoms like roses
They note her fine boneses and feminine poses
And think: ‘what a beautiful girl’
But if she don’t shave for a month then her nose is
Choked up with hairs, she is bearded like Moses
And if she uncloses her legs then her hose is
Proof, she’s no beautiful girl
But people supposes on clotheses and poses
Their ideas are based on our outer regalia
What the girl knows but will never expose is
The fact that down there she has male genitalia
On external looks people make diagnosis
Their eyes see some things and their mind then imposes
An idea on which it then somehow closes
And which it will never unfurl
And if this is true, men, then what I propose is
Don’t feel obliged to wear doublets and hoses
If you want to oppose this, wear the right clotheses
You can be a beautiful girl
