Pigalle III - 0071 - Current Version

Life deplore,
futile stripper,
friendless whore,
vile bedsitter.

Scarlet lamp,
tarnished glitter,
dreary, damp,
sterile litter.

Sordid, sore,
sexless sister,
mindless, more,
senseless quitter.

Tawdry tramp,
fading flitter,
foetid framp,
nothing fitter?

Vapid vamp's
whisky sipper
rubber stamps
Jack the Ripper.

What's in store?
Cindy's slipper
or, hurt once more,
pimp's wild whipper?

Beaten raw,
barren, bitter,
ruined core,
Paris streeter.
