LOVES HIS WILD NYLON HOSE X.O. be nimble, X.O. be quick, X.O. how did you get your tu-tu to fit? Aface so fair it would stop a clock, Prancing about with his cute little . . . locks' A beauty queen he did portray, After all, it's not easy living on an X.O.'s pay, With grace and dignity did you act, But when that fellow kissed you, did you kiss him back? VlHth a rose in his teeth and a smile on his face, He filled us with laughter our minds cant erase. But fear not, X.O., you little dancing fool, We're trying to raise money for your dancing school. Well, X.O. sir, you're a man of good humor, So l'll end this poem before you send me to a boomer. DY AI Grimming +.-. fs-
