Male Stripper Revue


An ad in the paper
just jumped off the page:
Expert male strippers ...
at a premium wage.

From your chest to your drawers,
we take it all off --
at competitive prices,
there's no need to scoff.

We fix furniture, really ...
it's burnished and stripped;
but since we're not barbers,
you never get clipped.




Author notes

There was an ad in the Council Bluffs Nonpareil about 30-40 years ago. I made a note about the ad, and forgot it. Found it the other day and wrote the poem.

      Ah.

      Désolé. J'avais oublié qu'un poème est drôle seulement si l'écrivain est anglais.

        Pas du tout! Je ne suis pas si patriotique! Ah! Mais, attend un moment - j'ai crois que tu étais le champion qui défendait la splendeur de la langue anglaise contre les invasions européennes, contre le marécage des langues étrangères..........

          Ah. C'est dommage.

          I misunderstood.

          En actualité, cela ne se concerne pas avec le français. L'anglais est actuellement plus que la moitié français. Moi, je ne veux pas voir l'anglais devenir mêlé avec les langues de l'Europe orientale, et les langues de l'Afrique et l'Asie. Cela produira un patois comme l'anglais est devenu dans des régions sous-tropicales en Amerique du sud et dans quelques parts de l'Afrique.

    This is excellent! I was left blushing at my own dirty mind when I reached the last stanza. Wonderful play on words! I really enjoy it when poets are able to pull that off well. Thanks so much for entering my contest!
