Leverage

Business before pleasure Are you a big spender Mortgaging your heart For lustful endeavors Straddling your bottom line Leveraged with burgundy wine She wants a quick merger Before your numbers decline

Oh very nice Xavier. I like the rhythm and flow of this piece. And the connotation between the business, the material, etc and the lust is brilliant. How quick and brutal it is, dangerous and ugly at times. This is really good, memorable lines. The two lines "She wants a quick merger/before your numbers decline." Is instantaneous, fast punch. It ends swiftly and skillfully with loads in between to decipher. Excellent! I'm impressed.
