[ CC ] Filling Station Ode

    
Doily    
clean    
on table littered    
with picturesque literatures    
rarely read for the prose---    
worn to point of page torn    
comic books, dirty mags    
and assorted pulpy rags    
featuring ladies in pose    
cheesecake to naughty    
encouraging one to take    
second looks    
   
Doily    
pristine    
far from surreptitious---    
a bit feminine for boys and men    
who tinker on their tipped toes    
toiling under automobile hood    
soiling hands with oily black syrup    
dripped upon their natures good    
---heads filled up with a lot of    
nonsense about buxom beauties    
with bountiful bosoms spilled out    
whom they profess to Love    
   
Dirty      
oily    
is the filling station    
where someone behind the curtain    
in the family business who cares    
for their [c]overall[ed] welfares    
makes certain in the daily duties    
that regardless of attire, cup size    
or waist and hip measurements    
ALL female motorists who require    
their gas being gas pumped
or inner tubes inflated
are treated with reverence    
they are deservingly owed
