Love Poem: Who's Laughing Now

Who's Laughing Now

She wore her skirt short,
her lingerie to be seen.
Such sights aplenty!

Gawking, gawping eyes
lusted at shear nudity.
They burned with hunger.

She proudly stood in
ruffled edges of cheap chintz,
dimmed and stained with wear.

Though worn and weathered,
her shoes had seven-inch heels -
a platform for love.

She was hardworking,
a rough road for seven years,
never a complaint.

She saved her rewards,
wed an investment banker,
retired at 30,
and laughed her way to the bank.
