photo from Dismaland



STILETTO ALLURE
Her stilettos clicked boardroom tiles
Men trembled at her slightest wiles
She, goddess, she, diva
Till another, more wicked, more diva
Benched her, to pigeon lady in the park
Now they smother her; question mark
Who is she? faced hidden in feathered smack
Feathered, not tarred, for a hurried snack
Sister sister of Wall street.

  9. I love this idea of an "anti-theme park". You did a good job with this stiletto lady. How quickly they can fall. Wall Street is hiccuping at the idea of higher interest rates. I try not to pay any attention to the wickedness.
