A Porn Shop Owner Writes Poetry: Williams & Silverstein

By Maven Sultry
 

“Voyeur in There”¹

There’s a voyeur there

In the exhibitionists’ lair.

He likes it ‘cause it’s OK to stare.

With his eyes on their thighs

And smiles on their faces

So happy to be watched

In their sexy embraces.

And he’ll let out a shriek

If you look in to peek.

‘Cause it gives him a scare

If he knows that you’re there

That self-conscious voyeur

In the exhibitionists’ lair.

“The Red Dildo”²

so much depends

upon

a red

dildo

covered in plastic

wrap

beside the pink

strap-ons.
