Fire Pants

his house has 3 extra bedrooms
the queen's parlor would be for me 

see-through showers 
fresh-cut flowers
just for the smell of it 

he'd lick my pedals
run the fire sprinkler 
in the hall 
just for the hell of it 

he would ride his white stallion by day 
my donkey by night 

three cars we'd have 
two foreighn 
one for the kids to borrow 

we'd spend summers 
on his boat 
with 3 engines

he'd be perfect 
to help me untwist 
my extensions

the part he forgot to mention 
his wife 
owned half
of everything he swore he had
