I serviced them,
the men who came,
soldiers of battle,
politicians with bored wives,
husbands whose wives
(they said) never
understood their needs
or wants or desires,
young men starting on
an unfamiliar journey
on the road to ***
I entertained
as their women
would never have done,
played the games
their women
would put
their fingers
to mouth in shock to
and never do,
I allowed them to touch
where they'd never
touched before,
to kiss where
their dames
would deplore,
I listened to
their brief tales
or sorrow,
know for me
there was never today,
and always tomorrow.
I was she,
and they knocked
at my door,
I was the paid up,
always on the ball and bed,
***** who ******
whom the women hated,
but their men
(I was sure)
adored.
