Izzy Gumbo Poet I do not know?

Obelisk Lampshade

I burned the candle in a color of glass
Tiffany shade made the light shine last
Pillar of silver with the bit at it’s base
Don’t need a cord to brighten your face
.
I’m under the cover and looking up right
Washingtones dance to my beat at night
George ol’ boy, quite a game you’ve played
The Gal with the smile, IS the lampshade. ;)
Shall we dance ? lol!

It burns candles and isn't electric. :) lol!!! . it reminds me of the Washington Monument ... George Washington and how the danced drunk and marry back in the day. Wigs... perhaps aka, lampshades... ;)
