All Comments on 'New Stripper's Lament'

An enjoyable poem. The off-rhymes contribute a nice discordant note to Betty's awkward job situation--lawful but not what your in-laws would call respectable. Personally, I think Betty should tell her BF first. THEN she can tell his parents, over dinner at their country club. If they are still breathing after that, then she can invite them to see her at her workplace. Mom will almost certainly demur, but Dad surely will say yes.

This question is probably in the mind of many of the strippers I have seen on stage. The young college girls, the older pros and the drugged up has beens. What do I tell my new friend? I guess showing is the best reward.
