Johns Cant

Johns Cant

A Poem by Frieda P

Where did 'John' come from? 
code words of trickery
shady business and cant words
pay for the horizontal mambo
did the trick,  turn the key
could there be a 'patron' saint'? 
Rush home to wifey...bring flowers
Cant lose, earned a reward

Thanks for reading me Btwixer, much appreciated.
I agree with quinfinn. I dont know why they need to do it. I mean paying someone to do 'it' with you should be a real downer!

That makes sense being it is a business transaction...
they shouldn't call them "johns"....they should be called desperados....i mean, really? without intimacy sex is meaningless....i'll take a warm soft kiss over an impersonal exchange of bodily fluids anytime....clever write

Yes you're right, stranger in the night, means a whole different thing now...

Who knows what a patron saint must think? There has to be one around somewhere... after all this time.

Such a clever play on words ;-) One might think you are referring to a specific John, but of course everybody knows you are talking about what men who visit prostitutes are called...don't they?
