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.

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!
