Removing her corneum, all eyes were engaged.
Peeling off her lucidum, the crowd’s blood did rage.
Her public gasped as she bared her granulosum.

Her basale stripped away with a stroke of her thumbs.
Slowly she took off her papillare, most gory,
and shed her reticulare to great furore,
unveiling all her subcutaneous glory.
