CALENDAR GIRLS
The Gazette Girls
were invited to play
in a field of snow.
Pose for a calendar
sure to be a sell-out
at the start of the year.
Please turn this way and that,
let us see at least an ankle
of a fully clad foot.
Smile at the Kodak,
flirt a bit with teasing eyes,
as if your beau was there.
Place a hand on curvy hips,
it's alright to mildly
tempt
and tantalize,
but don't reveal
anything too daring,
if you please,
and never forget
when the time comes,
to say cheese.

Models, indeed. That reminded me of just how long it must have taken them to prepare to go out in public.

ReplyDeleteHi annell-
ReplyDeleteThanks so much...lovely!
It goes so well with the photo. And I love the rhythm of it. I read it whilst listening to WRTI radio station. I've got the jazz channel on and it suits the atmosphere perfectly.

ReplyDeleteHi Carrie-
ReplyDeleteI looked at them and couldn't let them be too serious! thanks...
Nothing like the Calendar Girls I know! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Cad-
ReplyDeleteTime marches on!!! Thanks for dropping by...
oh to go back to a day of modesty where mystery and the unknown/unseen were more seductive than baring skin and leaving nothing to the imagination...just like this photograph did...revealed just a hint of what possibly was...leaves the true artistry up to the eye of the beholder and leaves us with wanting to know more! Nice write :)
ReplyDeleteHi Chrissy-
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid that modesty has left the stage..where do we go from here?? thanks for visiting...
heh heh....what an amusing and clever take on the pompt! Models these days whip off their clothes with no shame! You worded the historic version wonderfully!
ReplyDeleteHi Lena-
ReplyDeleteThanks! Where do we go from here???

ReplyDeleteHi rrel-
ReplyDeleteI am always a smiley face..sometimes too much!! Good thing to know...
