My Mistress

he is not human like you and I For she is my mistress I can not lie I chance it all To mount her peak My mistress’s name My wife now seek I love her And need her In my life you see Caressing her ridges To mount her I plea Her name you will know Once I say it aloud Her beauty a mystery Cloaked in a shroud I know of the danger My mistress does hold mount her I must Before I’m too old If i am ugly And don’t treat her right She will claim more Than my marriage that night If I softly caress and treat her right She’ll treat me so gentle And mount her ......I might If I show up Full of anger and rage She’ll keep me with her She’ll build me a cage If I get the chance To mount her one day I’ll be firm but gentle That’s all I can say If ever chance bestowed unto me I’d pull out that old cliche It is not you, it’s all me I have a mistress, what else can I say To see my mistress For years I did save For glimpse of her beauty Even textbooks rave I guess now it’s time To tell you her name My mistress is Everest My love and my dame I’ve mounted her peak Now there’s things i must say I have to go home With you i can’t stay I know my obsession to Mount you Was short lived and too brief The cost and the distance That’s our biggest thief Your peak that I mounted Was the best of them all Your mystique and your beauty In love I did fall After mounting your peak I stay for a moment so very small For you my sweet mistress My greatest quest of all I pray she is quiet And she’s understanding I pray with her fury She does not sing Will she let me go with fading of day Or is she so pissed I’ll eternally stay
