Wrapping a Gift
Alone in my closet,
of manifold wrappings,
I look for the one
that suggests a sly gift.
Perhaps a suit, like a lawyer in court?
Heâd deduce pretense.
A logical No.
The hippie skirt with tasseled brown top?
Opinionated, heâd think,
Sheâs full of herself.
Should I look slinky, revealing and bare?
Too bold, heâd muse with a smirk.
Maybe jeans and a shirt,
clothes a man could wear?
A tigress, heâd see.
And God knows Iâm not.
The old-lady dress for impressing the folks?
A preacher for sure, sheâs in for the kill.
The cotton print shift, casual and free?
She doesnât care, wonât even dress up.
A gift in red velvet, conservative, plain?
Not cliché, or elegant,
but alluring in form.
Yes, he will ponder
and say with a grin,
She inspires imagining.

You can choose to be chaste
or choose to be chased
but rarely is a woman both of these
for most men are lead from their waist.
- So go outside in the desert heat,
get your dress all wet and send it to me.
My suggestion: White cotton panties and nothing else.
