ROLL UP YOUR SLEEVES (SEX SELLS) – POEM

After watching one of many videos inviting people to “Roll up their sleeves” I was struck by the sexual undercurrent to the campaign for vaccination. The more I thought about it the more metaphors screamed for attention. I had flashing mental images of ladies of the night in sultry positions lifting fabric to expose flesh.

ROLL UP YOUR SLEEVES (SEX SELLS)

Your screen is like a window 
On a red light street
Lusting eyes lock with yours
She doesn't skip a beat
 Lifting her sleeve
 As she would hitch a skirt
 Or unclip a suspender
 She’s cool and calm
demanding surrender
 “Let’s play master and servant
 doctor and nurse
 Bite on the pain
 It can’t get worse
 Let’s play Russian roulette
 Chase the numbness away
 Let’s live on the edge
 It’s time to play"
 Take her hand  
 Touch her skin
 She knows your desire
 Bowed submission
 Will feed her fire
 
 Expose your flesh
 and close your eyes
 Panting for penetration
 feel the hypodermic thrust
That moment of elation
