Danaë

Pennies from heaven —
a celestial dew!
Artists show your garments
conveniently askew …
With immaculate conceptions
there's so little to do —
you just lie there pretending
you're looking at the view.
Not being raped but being rained on,
it's difficult to sue.
Should you sleep with an umbrella
in case he tries to renew
your acquaintance with a brief
shower or two?
