Ginza Goddess
Neil Harding McAlister
Adorable, seductive smile
With hint of yaeba* fangs --
Japan’s new boobie queen, you fill
Men’s hearts with longing pangs!
Pubescent boys and balding men
Who could have been your dad
Admire every inch of you --
Their latest porno fad.
The stressed-out Tokyo salaryman,
The lonely techno-geek,
By light of their computer screens
Imagined comfort seek.
But AV idols’ reigns are short,
So smile while still you may;
And put away some extra yen
Against that rainy day
When newer girls and fickle taste
Will push you off your throne.
Time lends you only fleeting fame
When beauty’s all you own.
And yet your image shall not age --
And that’s what people see.
So, on the Web, at least, you can
Delay mortality.
Though supple limbs and saucy breasts
Their good looks can’t retain,
As you fade like the Cheshire cat,
That gorgeous smile remains.
