Red Alert!
She is a beauty to behold
Like a the masquerade on display
She is wrapped with attractive garment
Her Arabian perfume oozes out ceaselessly
Her jewelleries shine like oriental sunlight
The eyeballs glitters like a refined diamond
Her skin is as a succulent tomato fruit
She is damned too attractive
Beware she is a compost
Decorated with fresh green grass
She locates herself in thick darkness
Down at the street corners
Her wares are displayed for stray dogs
Like a hunter on expedition
She pounces on her preys
Like Delilah she bewithces
Making strong men to genuflect
Dragging them into abyss
Let all be at alert
Because she a red alert
