Risque garb and bisque rhyme in The Civilian Ottawa
A provocative verse from The Civilian Ottawa critiques undergarment norms with lines mentioning gauze, mesh gowns, and skimpy attire. It contrasts suggestive fashion with calls to wear underclothes, then pivots to satirical quips about modesty and social propriety. The piece also weaves in assorted quotes on money and liquor.
