She Swish and Sway
She swish and sway
Her satin way
Through halls of velvet red
Material flow
Melodic glow
Make jazz her pleasure bed
Brushes high hat
Spoken slap scat
She clicks on four four tiles
Her legs backlit
Through gauzy skirt
Evoke uncertain smiles
While walking bass
Thrum fine white lace
Her hips sigh shuffle silk
A trumpet mute
And mellow flute
She sips the devil's milk
She swish and sway
On ev'ry day
She walks outside your door
Jazzy mistress
Give smooth slip kiss
Her notes dot dancing floor

This is one of my faves. I have several, and frankly, many that I don't think are good at all. But the message board said to only list three :-)
