If You Are Not Naked Poem by gershon hepner

I do hope this poem won’t shock or offend you,
it’s not my intention to do you such wrong,
but this is the last one that ever I’ll send you
if you are not naked when I end my song.

If you are still wearing your clothes when you’ve finished
I’ll have to accept that you really don’t care for me;
my hopes and libido will both be diminished
if once you have read it you will not go bare for me.

My Muse has now threatened to go out on strike
if you don’t inspire me, going butt naked,
but if you won’t show me the woman I like
at least spare my feelings by trying to fake it.
