A stiff maverick is a hard man to please,” Leon Freilich messages, adding a lovely and appropriate rhyme inspired by yesterday’s item about a Jersey City madam empowered by technology (as predicted, though not mentioned, by this year’s winners of the Nobel Prize in Economics).
CALLING ALL GIRLS
Belle de nuit,
What’s your fee?
Belle de jour,
More than a
whore?
(Excuse, please,
The New Yorkese.)
Escort services
Make men
nervices,
Fearing their cheating
Will result in a meeting
With the source of
strife,
The layabout wife.
Still, better to turn
To a whore than burn,
As
Saint Paul said
In his hotsheet bed.
