    UPA~FORUM CHALLENGE~ PERSPECTIVE OF OPPOSITE SEX

    BEYOND THE GLASS CEILING

    We're smiling ladies of the night
    Come on in
    The door is open wide
    For the price of a membership card

    We'll be slowly warming up
    Whilst you get comfortable
    In your favorite chair

    Happy hour is from four to six
    Drinks are two for the cost of one
    We won't keep you waiting
    As you sip fast

    Cabaret lights
    Are our immediate environment
    One after another
    We enter the stage

    Wearing the skimpiest of costumes
    Sure to grasp your attention
    Seductively we take off a piece of our attire
    For every song played

    Colorful, dazzling tassels we exhibit
    Spinning them in tight circles
    To complement our curvaceous bodies
    We pole dance for a pleasant effect

    Loud music roars, the drums thump
    We bounce all around
    To briefly pause
    And collect our many tips

    You may look and even stare
    Though you're not allowed to touch
    We're your fantasy
    Beyond the glass ceiling

    A nicely put together piece. Glaring images, but subtle emotions. Well done.

    Isn't it funny to think they could have so much more for thier assets but this is adequate

    provacative in its use of strippers in respect to the glass ceiling which most would think of the corprate glass ceiling.......intersting that many educated women holding MBA's leave the corporate world because they can make more money stripping or being a sex worker.

    quite a twist on THE GLASS CEILING - it is seductive and very thought provoking- the erotic dancers taking the cash of the males who won't allow entrance into the BOYS CLUB. yes, I would say they go beyond the glass ceiling.

    A very nice insight. Thank you Hanna. SBear

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
