Professorial Temptress

Professorial Temptress

A professorial seductress bends like a cattail
To write her runes for chalkboard junkies
Algebraic news to fill the pages
Of textbook boys that are her specialty
In a French maid pose for moon-eyed pupils

Johnny reports the preposterous teacher
To the chagrin of his mother
“I once was her. I will be a guest at your next class.”

The trigonometric temptress
Prances like a formula hot rod from paradise
But she is Belladonna of dark magic
For her gaga guy audience.

His mother
Turns to film noir eyebrows
And hot pink lipstick
Whose scimitar smile
Curves into dare-me-cheek dimples
And eyelids are raised for devilry
Johnny’s Mama mimes the mathematical mistress
Like a female Chaplin
She stands over the desk
Giving the errant educator an eyeful
Of her luscious bottom
The teacher’s gaze dances
Like Mata Hari on psychedelics
John’s maternal connection
Proves formidable to the she-devil
Until the daughter of male logarithms
Excuses herself to the powder room
To cool her panties
