Plaster Work Poem by Tom Billsborough

Plaster Work

Rating: 2.8


An evening stroll along the path,
Venus rising from her daily bath
And just ahead an even lovelier sight,
Two moons arising in the pale moonlight,
A lady bending over in white pants.
I introduced myself with one intent
And following a very, very brief chat,
Suggested that I'd like a plaster cast of that!
She laughed and said: "You have an awful cheek."
"But you have two, " I answered. "They are sleek
And would sit nicely on my mantelpiece,
In the place of honour, if you please."
"I'll discuss it with my boyfriend in a while, "
She answered with a disengaging smile.
We went our separate ways, I'm sad to say.
The space has been reserved there to this day! "

A lady bending over in white pants. I introduced myself with one intent And following a very, very brief chat, Suggested that I'd like a plaster cast of that! ..........first part gave me a chuckle; last line, a laugh to MyPoemList! (to be continued) .....

I suppose it's a matter of opinion. Certainly an eyeful of shapeliness!
