From 109kprl77l9v@mail68.internetMCI.com An Hour Before Closing By Link (with apologies to Clement Moore) Twas an hour before closing And all through the club Not a customer was moving, Except eyes to rub. The stockings had fallen From legs dark and fair, In hopes that the green stuff Soon would be there. The customers slumped, Each snug in his chair. As visions of cleavage Danced in the air. Holly was resting Close on my lap. So the last thing I wanted Was a long winter's nap. When back from the curtain There arose such a clatter I jumped from the office To see what was the matter. The stage curtain opened, And then split in two. The audience grew quiet, And the house lights turned blue. A single light shown In the center of the stage. Could this be something new To rattle our cage? A second light appeared. I see… Oh, Golly. I knew in a moment It must be Miss Molli. Like tips from the bucket, Her friends joined the game. So we whistled and shouted And called them by name: "Now, Siren, now, Edie, Now, Crimson, now, Mia, Oh, Jade! Oh, Kim! Oh, Natasha and Tia! At the top of our lungs We started to call, "Strip away, strip away, Strip away, all." The garments were flung To the walls and the ceiling. Our feelings were stirring. Our senses were reeling. A bundle of toys Molli pulled from her bags. Not toys for the kiddies, But playthings for stags. My eyes, how they twinkled! My complexion, it brightened! My cheeks were like roses. My underwear tightened. The ladies they moved, And they danced, as on fire. Siren swung her bottom And her breasts, ever higher. Crimson grabbed a toy And adopted its rhythm. One customer yelled "More," And I yelled it with him. We all moved together As if joined at the belly. We shook, and we vibrated Like a bowlful of jelly. A wink in Mol's eye And a twist of her head Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread. She spoke not a word But went straight to her work. And reached for her stockings And gave them a jerk. And laying her finger On top of her garter. We emptied our wallets And smiled even harder. She sprang to the curtain And give a quick nod. The dancers they vanished With our cash in a wad. And Molli spoke softly As she started to go, "Come back tomorrow For the rest of the show." Link (the poster formerly known as LinkFarm)
