The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Candy Wrapper Bride


Today, his mail order package just came in,
a foreigner wanting to be an American citizen
The price for the privilege has gotten more steep,
the cost for the coach airfare didn’t come cheap

The rich can pay half a mil to get a clean green card,
but poor mail order brides must work their bodies hard
This wife has a husband who likes pimping his brides
Repayment comes in the form of late night date rides

Clients want his candy bride to lustily unwrap,
their sweet tooth craving must be sexually capped
She met an undercover cop, who became her friend
Prostitution was stopped when they took the pimp in

Her tarnished wedding ring got used to make bail
Ex-sex slave bride got a free green card out of jail

'I see Phantoms of Hatred and of the Heart's Fullness and of the Coming Emptiness', by William Butler Yeats. I feel sadness and pity, Freddie, It is best to be careful as to what one wishes for. She is a strong diligent survivor.He would be a greedy, jealous, & an over-compromising SOB with an Oedipus complex. My only hope is that the ex cop doesn't land them this way. I've seen that one, he's silent, stealthy, sly.... Anyhow, wishing the best to you and yours!! Mikki
