HUMAN COURTSHIP DISPLAY
The practice of undressing "for the hay"
Is the human creature's "courtship display".
Clothes are artificial, not natural,
So they descend to God-made actual.
Sometimes the male starts it, flexing his arms,
Sometimes the female's first to show her charms.
The male may allow his mate to stare
With awe upon his greater body hair,
The female of usually smooth skin
Allows his touchings of her to begin.
It has the purpose to spur attraction
Of a mate towards sexual action.
It heightens sense of desirability,
A non-verbal signal: Make love to ME.
They show each other that they are ready,
With the male's visible rigidity,
And the female's end begins to get wet,
So each other's needs begin to be met.

Author's Note
Inspired by Desmond Morris and other observers of the human animal. Wikipedia defines courtship display as:
".....a set of display behaviors in which an animal attempts to attract a mate and exhibit their desire to copulate. These behaviors often include ritualized movement ("dances"), vocalizations, mechanical sound production, or displays of beauty, strength, or agonistic ability."

It was an imagining of how an observing non-human might describe our ways - fun seeing ourselves as others might see us.
