Analysis of Spanking New Courtesans
She wants a tawdry fashion
She wants a garish chic
She wants a kitschy passion to allure with mystique
She wants an eager servant
She wants a gift all day
She wants a man observant to please in every way
She wants a trillion dollars
She wants a money tree
She wants well-to-do callers to boost grand coterie
She wants a superb palace
She wants a fatted calf
She wants a golden chalice to sip wine for a laugh
She wants a whole body lift
She wants a belly tuck
She wants an aesthetic shift to alter erstwhile luck
She wants a painted figment
She wants a mottled hue
She wants a shaded pigment to appear spanking new
