That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for September 17, 2021

“The magic crystal ball tells me that most guys will like you just as you are.”

Don’t quit yet. I still haven’t won your hair ribbon. So what number do I see in the crystal now ?

Seriously guy? A nude woman says she wants to have a ball with you and you pull out a crystal?

The nude nymphette had wanted to know, / if her future decline would be so. / Fortune Teller consulted; / this answer resulted: / Calypso— How low can you go?

“Your clothes will be dry in 40 minutes.”

The inept fortune teller had pressure / from Cassandra to take a refresher / course on “seeing” ahead, / but the crystal, instead, / showed her images of M.C. Escher.

But through this lens, they look like DD’s.

At the very first Feminist Consciousness Raising Meeting:

Your hand mirror provides the reflection / for your vaginal (nude) self-inspection. / And that ball magnifies / when it’s placed ‘tween your thighs. / Learn to view all your parts with affection.

“Hmmmmmm. This one requires math. Two? Five? Six? No, a threesome would necessitate, if my calculus and the crystal are correct, we all take ‘Love Potion #9!’”

Sorry, ma’am! But in these days before breast surgery I need to take out my magnifying glass

Pleasingly plump. Nay they called her a frump. Shed all of her clothes. So that she could show you her rump. Sit on it Potsie.

I see you have the same tailor as the emperor.

iPhone XIV?

Really, clothes block the reading of your future. The more I see of you, and better I know you, the clearer the future becomes.

Mme Zelda knows all…sees all..

A good weekend portrait for a change

the magic 8 ball tells me that if i can get you to take your clothes off this easily i’m probably home free…

Early pregnancy test? Or possibly predicting the gender?

Let’s see some carpet…

Isn’t there a joke about getting naked, to forecast the weather?

“I can see the two of you think I’m full of crap.”

Undoubtedly one of the best!/ Yes – even the crystal’s impressed !/ From her dainty pink tips/ to her finely-shaped hips/ let’s be honest-she truly is blessed !/// And if she resembles the rest/ (of course, that can only be guessed)/ what a treat for the eyes/ in the locker room lies../ – I can’t wait to see them undressed !

I’m getting a really clear image of a flaming dumpster here….

Now just turn around and I will place this in your…

Throw in another 50 smackers and I’ll toss in this deluxe limited edition pine scented jar of Aphrodite’s Miracle Fat Reducing Creme in your order as an added bogus …umm err bonus.

Yoric looks like he might have been an intergalactic traveler.

“I can foresee that you are about to catch your death of cold, young lady unless you put some clothes on!”

“The implants are about this large….”

“NURSE! Show in the next patient! I’ve seen enough of this one…”

What the heck is eating her leg?

“I see a number of stores that are having sales, but none on clothing. Sorry.”

“I wish you’d wear clothes. I tried to buy you a bra, but they didn’t have size 34 in a B cup.”

Tonight on Sparta’s Got Talent, the Butt Sisters take the What Bone Am I? quiz.

Lots of money you don’t have to spend / just to see where your future will wend. / Crystal balls can be got / from a free COVID shot. / (It happened to my cousin’s friend.)

That brunette, in between the front pair, / makes me wonder what she’s doing there. / Is she there to observe? / Or the seer unnerve, / with her hand making “signs” in the air? /// Could it be that she’s casting a spell / that will banish false prophets to Hell? / If she is, then I’d pray she could be here today, / in this land where the misled rebel.

Sorry, no – even nude you chance of getting Prince Charming is 50%, and that drops to 40% if he is putting the glass slipper on your foot.

hellen-marie is tired of waiting for jonny to leave so she can get dressed

“I have the right to be clothed if I want to.”

That’s her Madam on the porch

I suspect that “Another” was present/ – a person profoundly unpleasant/- a deity tribal/ who inflicted a “Bible”/ on all of us- “poet AND peasant”.

In the early days of “hide and seek”; sometimes it was to hide an object on your body. It was easier if you wore clothes. The “it” person is cheating by not closing her eyes while they hide the objects.

When I went to sleep, I had clothes on … and now I wake up like this! I swear that “prince” with a spear stole my clothes!

The wise Sibyl would often expound / upon where inspiration was found. / She liked working indoors, / “reading” crystals for whores, / more than huffing foul fumes from the ground. /// Back in Delphi she perched o’er a crack. / She’d inhale and then, using her knack, / in a frenzy, to speak / rhymed enigmas in Greek / to her clients. (None knew she’s a quack.) /// She would string these believers along / with some hunch in a chant or a song. / Was your forecast not true? / She would blame that on you. / You’d interpreted Sibyl all wrong!

Her fortune should have been “I see many trips to the Dermatologist in your future with a skin tone akin to old leather.”

I feel so naked and vulnerable when Mother drops in for tea. Did she like the rock cakes, at least?
