Perfection of the Leg


The representation of the leg
fall too short when compared
to attributes above the waist
or that region of booty fame

 


gams extending to the foot
both the curves and the straight
attribution of delight
to the review of the eyes

 


the shapeliness that few deny
when honesty is applied
the delight of verity
only damned by devil’s lies

 


these edifice of angel’s breadth
recognized by vision’s bliss
defying nature in good jest
with perfection of the leg.

<p>The poem &ldquo;Perfection of the Leg&rdquo; was inspired by a Tumblr photo displaying an excellent set of legs in fancy hose.</p>
