The Streaker
A. Bertram Chandler

My heart leapt up when I beheld A streaker in the street, A bushy—pussied brunette With a figure nudely neat, With unbound breasts a—jiggle And buttocks bouncing free; Firm—striding like an Amazon And calm of face was she. Long since I lost my innocence But yet it gave me joy; I wish I could have seen such sights While I was still a boy!
