'Gerrem Off' - What next? . Male pole dancing? Those poor men being exploited for female gratification? Fell off chair laughing.

CJ, you are one up on me, I've never had the strip club experience, but I've seen it on TV. A really good poem and the sense of inner conflict engendered by the experience is well-expressed.10 from me smiling from ear to ear. Hugh

Oh CJ what a super poem, and about the Chippendales too. Wow! ! ! ! It's probably all braun and no brains, which could turn out to be a bit uninteresting once the tans go! ! ! ! Great stuff. Well done. I have had a good laugh at this one. Thanks. Love Ernestine XXX

i really have enjoyed your latest poems. this is no different. it's a nice package here, that thrusts all way thru and really socks it to you in the end. i really liked the line 'there was so much action without any action.' this pretty much describes any strip club of any kind.

I know a lady who once got a disease from such a place, you must be careful what you touch. Fun poem, C.J.

Oooooer Missus! (A line from an old English comedian, expressing pretend shock at something risque.) I guess this one won't be going into a collection for children, eh? Love it, and brilliant description of of an intimate evening. I say that because a girl's night out always appears intimate whereas a lad's night out seems to always be a public performance.

Too funny C.J.! ! I think I would DIE of embarassment if I was taken to a male strip club! Sounds like you had a nice birthday! :) Sincerely, Mary

This is a funny one, and full of zest. Chippendales are still alive and well in Las Vegas and draw crowds every time the doors open...just for the reasons you stated. I loved the ending of this piece. Raynette

lol Oh, how funny! I have personally never been to see male strippers (no need when I can live vicariously through you! lol) , but I've got many friends who have and I've heard the stories! I hear that the crowd is MUCH louder and rowdier than that at a female stripper show. Did you have fun? It sounds as if they made an impression. Shannon

a delightful poem filled with the wonder of life and memory how small things happen and give a place for a poem to appear I enjoyed this piece!
