Claude McKay wrote a poem with this title—1922)

————————————————————-

Sallying, swaying, gliding

 She of Harlem’s hospitable hub                                                                     

 The one who knows the poetry of the foot                                                                   

 Verse of the body brightly black                                                                    

Bustling busy, impatiently excitable                                                                       

The Queen of Sheba                                                                                          

 With her queenly act                                                                                                     

 Stands right here on the raised dancing floor.

A feathery fluttering bracelet bra                                                                   

 Hiding, chiding, showing, glowing                                                                     

  A pair of sprightly, spirited globes                                                                         

Brisk and quick                                                                                                  

 Arousing, awakening                                                                                              

  Satiny smooth and softly spirited                                                                                

 That all can see shadowy cleavage to blackberry nipples.

All can see the lingerie lonesome

A strip, a band, a ribbon-like bar                                                            

All can see but no one sees it                                                                   

 The overlay lay-in moves in mind                                                            

Peeling and paring the puny piece                                                             

 A streak, a path, a trail to reveal                       

 Not to the eye but to the fancy.

A pole she climbs with buttocks swaying                                                                  

Roused are all the front row roosters                                                               

  Mid-rows all but crane their necks                                                                   

  Back-rows pertly peep and pry.

Pole, no vault, no prance, no jump                                                                      

 The Queen of Sheba                                                                                              

With so many Salmons trying their wisdom of loins                                                     

Erect and aloft without Viagra.
