See You Next Tuesday

Could I take a moment of your valuable time? Come
Underneath the shadows of this virtuous rhyme
Not a word to say in loud gratuitous fiction
The word I love’s poetic – pure secretive diction.

Can I love it? Really? Mrs Greer thinks I should. ‘cause
Underneath we’re all the same my Little Red Riding Hood
Not used here to cause offence, but subtlety expose it
Tune it in; turn it on. Don’t use then abuse it.

Criticised and abhorred by polite society.
Underneath social convention, gross misogyny
Never just a wallflower, a throbbing pulse inside
Terrified and wide awake. Still, feeling it should hide.
