Copenhagen

Wandering tourist trade
Mostly male, opaque shades
A few good sports exhausted by routine
Husbands and/or wives taking a break
Frat boys drunk and disorderly
Executives willing to pay top dollar
Lawyers looking amused, litigation forgotten
A few virgins here for their very first time
They've all heard the stories
Seen some snapshots of this wide open town
This Mecca of safe and merciful satisfaction
Its humane way with "sin"
Now they're actually here
All wandering and window shopping
And actually finding on full display
A woman, or man, for every taste
A wide range of ages and colors
Some in elaborate lingerie
Snakes, lashes and garters
Fifty shades of red and black
Some in costume
The traditional French Maid
One a cowboy with a pout
Still others barely in jeans
And feigned indifference
Some faces painted brightly
Others subtle with a semblance of class
Some quite beautiful, surprisingly demure
But all available at a certain price
A perfectly reasonable negotiation
Purchasing the hottest ticket to ride
And maybe a few snapshots and selfies
From these short days on a long leash
And permission granted on vacation
Fantasies brought home with a business card
This one bearing a lipstick kiss and signed
"Ask for Coco."
