I’m a **** star! It’s funny
men spend their money to see this old
body. Not too shoddy –

for a woman of my age. I'm still
sage in my writing. And I like singing every
morning! But those things

don’t make a buck. I've no nips and
tucks. I work hard bringing this body into verse  
as a bard. And with Covid it’s safer to look at

videos than stand face to face. No masks are
worn. No threat of disease.  It’s all in the click
of a screen! I make hundreds of dollars

just to touch myself and holler! Not too shabby
for a flabby old woman with thighs swinging
as a rooster’s wattle. And still drinks from

the bottle. The sun-tanning hasn’t wrinkled
my skin! At 55 I’m still hopping.
