You wear your hair in rollers
a fag dangling from your mouth
your bra has been discarded
so your breasts drop to the ground.

Corset been abandoned
flesh oozing from its seams
you scratch away at withered skin
is all the beauty within?

Tonight your life is different
hair curly,face made up to kill,
so tighten up the corset
let the breasts overflow and fill.

Male eyes will feast upon them
hoping for a thrill
"just pour another pint my dear"
"and you can have a gill".

Alice, I love the title! If I had had to guess what the poem was about, I wouldn't have got it right!! I like the last verse - long time since I heard 'a gill'. Excellent.
