It's a lovely photograph I've hung on the wall in the lower bathroom

Depicting a pretty young brunette bending down as camera zoomed
Close to her beautiful face, which shows no hint of any kind of strain
As her body doubles over so completely, there's nothing left to gain

For her lips reach her thighs just below the pink-gauze-covered tunic
And stars seem to float around her and caress her splendid long neck
As she tenderly touches her own lips to the private place just below
Any man who looks at it will instantly fall in lust with her bold show

Of affection for her own body and for the camera which lingered near
As she folded herself in two standing high on tiptoe without any fear
As the shutter clicked and the stance was then forever frozen in time
Then the scene was printed, duplicated, marketed - and now it's mine
