Poetry :The Overdressed Whore

Among the strobes and the beer-stuck floor,
You will find my protagonist, the overdressed whore,
Wearing loose clothes, which she left at the bar,
Unless she came out wearing just knickers and bra.

She spins like a whirligig, twirling her head,
Whilst the lads, for a bet, will take her to bed.
She's the last resort, the three am vice,
If you've had a barren night, she will suffice.

You can see her every morning, walking back at eight,
A degraded reflection of an amorous night,
Panda-run eyes, stilettos in hand,
A false number on her arm, blurred and signed

"I should find out the name of the overdressed whore,"
I think, as she slips shyly out of my door
