Left To Guess
She wore her most alluring smile and quickly turned aside.
There was nothing left to guile
and men would take a slide.
She faked her most innocent face and defied any glance.
There was nothing left to trace
and men would take a chance.
She strode her most enticing gait and teetered on the edge.
There was nothing left to fate
and men would take a pledge.
She formed her most erotic pose and flouted every rule.
There was nothing left to close
and men would take a fool.
She wore her most revealing dress and used it as a snare.
There was nothing left to guess
and men would take a stare.
