A Tale

Here is a tale of the tail
She put herself up for sale
She took his money
And gave him her honey

A street walker in the neon night
Doing what is immorally right
Bending over into his car
She wants to make him tonight’s star

They got to the ho-tel
And on the pad he fell
His arms and legs bound
She went around and around

Took his bread 
Closed her spread
Split in a flash
Gave her daddy the cash

On to the next one
Before the rising sun
Did what she does best
Making everyone her guest

Found dead
On the bed
Throat slashed
Bread cashed
