Homosexuals love reducing female sexuality to its most overt and unnuanced displays as they have no ante in the act of conquest and it runs culturally concurrent with their general debauched tone. This is why drag queens love to corrupt images of housewives and nurses and similar archetypes.

There are 1500 entries, so do the math.
Some of those are poetry books or plays, so they could be read quickly, but many are proper novels, so if we assume a week for each work, that's 29 years.

tick tock roastie, time's running out
your twenties are fading, your hole is blown out
your baby fat's dwindling, your laugh lines are deep
the glow of youth yielding to time's steady creep
your sister got married (perhaps 'twas your friend)
what do YOU have to show, at another week's end?
another liaison? another affair?
now your sister has children! and you've gotten.. where?
now your cousins are married (tho' they're younger than you!)
now the family gossip declares you the shrew
the "cool wine aunt," you recall from the memes,
whose eggs are as shrivelled and dead as her dreams..
the charity case, the butt of the joke,
your features weighed down by time's heavy yoke
is this what you wanted? was it worth it, my friend?
how valid you felt, from "dates" without end?
now pick up your nephew, now play with your niece
do you sense what you're missing? why you feel no peace?
now back to the present. can you hear the clock tick?
does it sound a bit louder? do you still want strange dick?
the decision is yours, roastie: heaven or hell?
every day is a choice, so be sure to choose well
