Analysis of Haughty Hottie



Waist not, want not!
So that's what you've got?
Each uninvited touch
Deserves an instant rebuff.

I'm not for the taking.
And don't need your rating.
Please give me my space.
Just what is your big race?

Don't you dare try to fondle
What's too hot to handle.
Again, making your pass.
Where's your moral compass?

Your attention may linger
But that tan-lined ring finger
Was hidden too fast
For my interest to last.

Your own is at home.
So leave me alone.
Feel for your wife.
I'm not trading her life.
