I wandered lonely on the road
Nothing to do and no one to talk to
Unemployment and loneliness had made me bored
When I heard a voice say “Do you want to?”

I turned behind to see a young not so innocent girl
With painted face, sensuous lips and hardened eyes
Her saree like a flag over her shoulders did furl,
And her eyes glittered just as brilliant as ice.

With nothing to do; desolate and with no one to talk to
My mind did stray from silence to taking her away
For I just wanted to be with someone whom I could talk to
And so I asked her politely if with me she could stay

She said it would cost me a thousand bucks an hour
I agreed and said, “That’s O.K. With me it is fine”
For I felt it would be better than going on a lonely tour.
She wanted the bread upfront and not down the line.

I found her reasoning fair and parted with ten big ones
She grabbed them from my hand and asked where?
I asked her to share a drink to break the ice, at once
She agreed and we headed for a bar somewhere

She ordered ***** while I had my whiskey
We completed a couple and she loosened her tongue
She revealed the truth behind her mystery
While I breathed in companionship to which I clung

The hour passed quickly and the lady wanted her fee,
For the second hour of happiness and pleasure.
I fished out another thousand as if it were free,
She grabbed the notes as if she had no leisure.

“What next?” she replied, when I offered another drink
“Aren’t you interested in taking my body?” she asked
“You’ve paid for it”, she said as another round did sink
I’m not interested in ***”, I said and just talked

At the end of the second hour the professional woman got up
I asked her to sit and desperately offered her another thou
She looked at me scornfully as she would a ***** mongrel pup
You know you are just a put on, she said, just another pseudo

As she walked away, I sat wondering if I did deserve such scorn
A harlot who copulated everyday with multiple partners, faking ******
Just a cheap ***** at that had the temerity to call me a put on
While all I wanted was freedom from loneliness like a deep chasm.
