The chaste maid

The chaste maid 
is by no means 

Any more or less chased 
than she thinks she is. She 
Just wishes the anglers had 
fewer hooks by which to 

miss.

She is a catch! She's animal sly
with human good, but it would 
be nice if they baited with lures 
more alluring, perhaps 

something really alive. It's 
plastic and wood they woo 
her with. What's a chaste 
girl like this

doing in 
such a dive.

All misses 
in here! No catches, but she
will not miss.

She rises 
to go

to the back
of the joint, stick the
jukebox in gear. Let's have
some hits! Liven this place

up a bit. 

The point.
