Spanking New Courtesans



She wants a tawdry fashion
She wants a garish chic
She wants a kitschy passion to allure with mystique

She wants an eager servant
She wants a gift all day
She wants a man observant to please in every way

She wants a trillion dollars
She wants a money tree
She wants well-to-do callers to boost grand coterie

She wants a superb palace
She wants a fatted calf
She wants a golden chalice to sip wine for a laugh

She wants a whole body lift
She wants a belly tuck
She wants an aesthetic shift to alter erstwhile luck

She wants a painted figment
She wants a mottled hue
She wants a shaded pigment to appear spanking new
