One On His Finger

One on his finger, one in his nose;
Crackers and honey, marsh mellow toes;
Voluptuous women, desire that grows;
And what is the problem, he’ll never know
        Seashell collectors, wadding through waves;
        Tight fitting swimsuits, eyes now enslaved;
        And no matter the sizes, it passes the days;
        And is there a problem, can anyone say.
Kimono clad women, looking for tips;
Sweet tasting poppers, with hot mustard lips;
Rice wine and toppers, perspiring hips;
Hopeful attempts; served up in quips
      One on his finger, a sign on the door;
      Huddled together, with tears on the floor;
      Nothing to hope for, they’re gone ever more;
      But the movie continues, from mountains to shore
