knickers

A Tragedy in Six Parts

I.
There once was a woman from France
who made a fine living by dance--
a happy profession
in various positions--
she got caught in her knickers by chance.

II.
By an officer named Pruitt
whose duty it was to ticket
the scandalous folk
on the corner of Polk
chiding, he said, "you can't do it."

III.
But this lovely woman from France
got lonely Pruitt entranced.
Up to her he walked
a sweet offer he talked,
her knickers he wanted to glance.

IV.
The lady from France accepted.
Her ticket he quickly amended.
Thereafter he cried,
"Would you please be my bride?"
In Vegas to wed they intended.

V.
Though now with a ring on her finger,
on dancing her thoughts still did linger.
His money she took,
for a club she did look.
Their story made it to Springer.

VI.
The story, so sad, unfolded
of an officer who was cuckolded
by a woman from France
who wore fancy pants.
The gun, he picked up and loaded.
