Stripper in 1800s

In the early 1800s, I could have been a Stripper...

Trying to shake a Tail feather for the nice Downlow fellows...

Maybe I would have been the one who the guys came to see while being away from their wives while fighting a war...

I wouldn't have screwed any of them but maybe just showed some leg and shook a cheek well both perhaps...

Of course, I would definitely have been low-key, because this is the 1800s, and there was no way it was ok to be openly Gay and Black, but in order to get bills paid I'd have to become popular and somehow get the guys to visit my Juke joint...

The First Gay Stripper, I'd Be the Talk of the Townspeople... But how would I get out of being Mobbed by the Town?
Surely I'd like to speak to the Towns leaders and we could come to an agreement for me to make History 📜 and for the Downlow guys to be entertained...

Oh, maybe I'd Host a private Showdown in my Barn and Tell a selected few... It would be great to gather some ladies and Host a Barn Cabaret... well I'd only select women of color so that they wouldn't have to work those Stressful Fields... We could make our own money privately owned!

What If I called myself the milkman and discreetly handed out flyers while delivering milk...

Back when William Shakespeare wrote Romeo and Juliet and I could have existed as The poetic Stripper...

Bestow the Feminine Milkman of Poetry❗

There wasn't any real stripper music at the time, but I'm sure I could Twerk it up to Mary Had a little lamb and old Mac Donald would have to do...
Okay so maybe I and Thomas Edison could have been cool friends and, I Would have convinced him to help me record some music to play while he stood creating the phonograph in the late Summer of July 1877.

I could have been the first Gay chanting Artist I'd Make Vogue Music to play at my Barn Cabaret Strip joint... I'm sure there were plenty of Downlow gentlemen in town...

I'm sure Abraham Lincoln would have let me Borrow his Barn On The weekends for a Nice Millyrock on the Haystack...

I could have been Besties with Queen Victoria and we would have discovered Harriet Tubman inside the underground railroads and Invited them to the Juke joint❗

Harriet was Smart and Determined she would be the perfect person to help me Run The Barn Cabaret.

We could have hosted exclusive Parties in the underground 🚇 railroads... Where we would have recruited some of the people from the fields who wanted to make Extra Dimes...

What if Harriet Brings the people and I'll bring the entertainment and our Foundation would be Secretly Black owned?

I wonder if she could “twerk”, but it didn't exist in the 1800s so what would I call it? Okay, maybe ill stick with gyrating...

Maybe Harriet would let me use the underground railroad to have Dance practices and the people who are trying to make extra Dimes would stick around with me while the others run for freedom...

I wonder how would they pay me if I was a stripper in the 1800s? Would they hit me with change like tossing nickels? Or Maybe walk up and drop a dime? What is the definition of (Something Strange for some change) I wonder if this would Qualify.
