Alabaster Statuette
An alabaster sweet delight,
arched out of chalk calcite,
stands a translucent nude in a silky gown skintight.
An alabaster naked bust,
shaped out of gypsum dust,
stands a translucent nude in a show of wanton lust.
An alabaster cute buttock,
hacked out of phosphate rock,
stands a translucent nude in a pose of caustic mock.
An alabaster lovely leg,
turned out of remnant dreg,
stands a translucent nude in a test of curate's egg.
An alabaster fine profile,
carved out of marble tile,
stands a translucent nude in a state of perfect guile.
An alabaster rash coquette,
pieced out of lime rosette,
stands a translucent nude in a mesh of marquisette.
