Sex Rubenesque
Unleash the excess!
Bring me cleavage and rumpage,
one heftable breast, then another,
a buttock untrussed
and rhapsodic for humpage.
Begin the maneuvers,
purge girdles and covers; undress
each strumpet of frumpage
that revolts a fat lover. Release the noblesse,
the cankles and haunch, trot out the lumpage—
Deliver the flesh!
