How Could You Poem by Stephen Brian Brady

How Could You



graduate of a provincial Belly Dancing School
Belinda barefoot on the tiles
adjacent to her swimming-pool

evoked Salome
for the 'coffee-morning set'
and to polite applause
removed the seventh veil

how the polystyrene dromedaries paled
and the moon dipped low
behind the cardboard minarets

yet Turkish-delight was spoiled it seems
by what she did with the tambourine
