A Stripper's Life Poem by Randy McClave

They've had a hard young life which is known and seen
Then they come to the strip club barely 18,
They didn't have the money or the desire to go to college
Sadly the street and a rough life was their main knowledge.

They dance from 18 until they are 30
Losing respect showing their skin and always being flirty,
Dancing for the tips tossed on the floor or placed in their garter
They become their own financial barter.

They then go to become a waitress at the age of 31
Their life at the strip club does continue on,
They now serve drinks to the older men standing and flirting there
They still dress and flirt and seduce all the men to stare.

They then go to become a bartender at the age of 35
Many are still waiting for their Prince Charming to arrive,
They give smiles and flirts to all the men that they serve
They'll even show some skin, to the men who have nerve.

They then go to become a door girl at the age of 37
To entice patrons in, as if they are angels sent from Heaven,
Sadly and honestly many of them will tell
They always felt like they were serving in Hell.

They become the house mom from the age 40 to 46
They teach some of the younger women their appeasing tricks,
The girls they are taught how to do this and also that
And how the big tippers are the men who are old and fat.

They are now the bathroom lady's at the age of 52
The same type of work in a different capacity they now do,
They turn into the bathroom lady's and the girl's moms
Now they just sell condoms.
