Mademoiselle, Where Are Your Clothes?

Mademoiselle, 

Where are your clothes?

Should I remove mine,

Do you suppose?

You do enchant me,

My Mademoiselle.

I am inspired—

Can you tell?

Oh my dear,

Such a surprise.

I came home

And there you stood.

You stared at me

With your brown eyes.

Your nakedness

Looks very good. 

Well, here we stand,

Without a stitch. 

I do believe

We found our niche.

Oh, Mademoiselle,

Please lead the way.

I will of course do

What you say. 

Mademoiselle,

You’re so risque.

I never know

Quite what to say.
