So thoroughly stated, there was little else to say
Just sitting there, she was...sipping her Sloe Gin Fizz

She had the kind of look on her face that even a stranger would recognize
Jack, the piano player, was keying up something melancholy

She was all Texas, and Texas did well to call her it’s own
The blossom of youth with the air of a woman...and gams to die for
(Still, she could shake the shingles off the roof if you crossed her!)

Her way of coming down stairs is why they called her “Slinky”
...and what she did ‘upstairs' was no less moving

She’s going to let someone love her one day, she says
and there's so many wanting lovers for her eye

Watch her if you wish, it’s always a pleasure for sure
But, wait and see what she does when the music stops




Pass the Glade if you're going to do that here...

I have nothing constructive to add to this well-written poem, sir! I knew her as you portrayed her.

Thanks so much Mr. Bolton!

She was known as "Slinky" for the way came down the stairs after being 'upstairs' for awhile.

Thank you PU, for giving us an understanding of 'upstairs' . . . It was greatly needed.

Thanks for coming back to read about 'Slinky' Mr. Bolton. I guess I'm always a little 'spooked' about something I wrote that would be banished to the "Mature" forums where people that haven't yet been born may visit!

Thanks again my friend!

Thought a little more on your comment Mr. Bolton and took it all back to the drawing board and rewrote it. If you pass this way again, tell me what you think please.

Many thanks!

I like the rewrite, it is clearer, not that you were leaving too much to the imagination anyway. Yes, that mature line is lurking out there somewhere. I doubt you crossed it. Now Jerry on the other hand....~L

Thanks for your comments too yann.

Now as for meeting 'Slinky', that might cost you a week or two's wages yann, unless of course you have a good rap that softens her rough exterior...then, maybe.
