Pen Fodder

With arms spread wide like Ibiza
With my Brighton rock stuck in my throat
And throbbing with a pulse
For all that glitters as it slithers into serpentine
The darker recesses, we waltzed

Feeling common as anachronism
London, meet me there
With my whirlwind of Netherlands
We dine upon the night
As a whore twice would
But more the class as we starve
And dining out upon it for a century
Of smiles and a million degrades 

Not too much for a pen fodder in these latter days
Completely stultified

I absolutely love the last line of this... But this is actually full of beautiful images and phrases. Don't be redunkulous, dear Lady. LOVE YOU! Daffodillia
