A Lady Dressed in Trouble
she had almost a humid look
flushed with knowing eyes
she was young…precocious
living life at the edge of danger
on the prowl for trouble and more
morals weren't this dame’s suite
her voice had a finishing school flatness
that husky polish
rubbed there by money
she was a beauty…she knew it
scruples and ethics were for kids
so I tossed it around in my mind
her perfume was nice, light underlying
the kind that slips beneath your skin
making you wonder later why?
it hung in the air seductively
she slinked across the room
exposing a shapely leg nylon clad
as she draped herself on the corner of my desk
what did this broad want with a Shamus
I knew she had to have an angle
it just wasn't ringing my door bell
I had a gray feeling about this scene
I smelled trouble wrapped in a blue clinging dress
luring me into her fringe world of intrigue

rubbed there by money"
ah, yes! and everything else
that goes with it - the disaster package
but such an enchanting alluring seductive
package
