Mama always warned her girls
They best behave when on a date
But those two had a better idea
Words of wisdom, now too late

Once out the door, and in the car
They’d speed away, into the night
Find a place, they could change
Hit the scene, oh boy, what a sight

No longer were they demure ladies
So sweet, when they left the house
Now they were both quite deviant
One was even missing her blouse!

Come-hither eyes and lollipop grins
The guys were knocked off their feet
That is, until Bessy opened her mouth
Making most fellows, quickly, retreat

Not everything is as good as it looks
Better wait, before you praise and laud
The packaging may look great outside
But, sometimes, the product is flawed

What would your life be like?

If you could only see trees and sky?

Rain puddles, gather in your nose

Upside down tears, that go awry

Eating could also be a real hassle

More in your eyes, and on your face

The hair, on the top of your head

Will always seem to look out of place

I’d imagine that’s how it would be

If we couldn’t get up, off the ground

Much like a statue, carved in stone

It would be pretty hard to get around

All the simpleminded things we do

Are quite small, in total retrospect

Then reality comes, kicks us in the ass

And you realize, it’s a pain in the neck

Clothes, too large, tattered and torn

Sweater sleeves cut, used for socks

No place to turn, no phone to call

Out on the streets, of hard knocks

Dirty knees that haven’t had a bath

In so long, you’ve forgotten now

Panhandling your way, for a buck

But no one will feed you, anyhow

Wandering, empty, down the lanes

Where others avoid you, quite cleverly

Shadows at night, in the splatter of rain

Leave you, with ragamuffin memories

All that chewy goodness

So tart and sweet and yummy

Doesn’t do me any good

It just expands my tummy

Not to mention what it does

To my sugar count, oh my

Still I shovel it in my mouth

Don’t know the reason why

Perhaps it’s the fruity flavor

They must know my weaknesses

A marketing ploy, if ever I’ve seen

Crafted by real jellied geniuses

I want to capture your flame

A single match, is all I require

Two bodies, entwined, no shame

Each one filling, the other’s desire

Heat, igniting the human form

Come closer, belong only, to me

A fury, the sensation, so warm

How perfect, two beings can be

I want to capture your flame

Where together, we will conspire

To forever be one, in the same

Two hearts set ablaze, one fire
