Touring the Little Dipper

TOURING THE LITTLE DIPPER

The Space Prostitutes do not have it easy.
Sure, if you’re well-off enough
to work on a Pleasure Asteroid,
you can make some good star-bucks,
but for most in the business,
you have to do Call Service
which is rare,
since most ships come equipped
with their own VR equipment to get off the crew
(when they’re not getting themselves off).

The time to shuttle to the ship in question
leaves little profit
at the bottom line.
Sometimes, luxury lines
touring the Little Dipper or somesuch
will hire out concubines.
That’s an all right gig
but not easy to find.

You can do OK
if a Galactic Madam puts up the cost
of a Teleportation Drive
to quickly get from place to place,
but with that kind of cash,
why work in Space Sex?

No indeed,
the Star Whores do not have it easy
even though they are.
Easy.
In space.
