I always go where the real fun's at.
These days, that usually Maggie's flat,
where a dinky girl with big breasts
entertains the evening's guests
with her pussycat in a cocked hat.

a second generation Julian...

My love was serpentine to the touch
I can't quite explain it...the love of mine
Had gone away from my sight and such
I can quiz my mind to say otherwise, my bittersweet sugar wine…

Gloriously luxuriating in eternal sleep...

All along, you tried to fix my heart...

wielded upon figurative head of wimpy blip;
decades elapsed at...

Which created a glow reflecting on his balding head.
His cold glare did not help my nerves, 
so I simply stood there observing his silence.

Mine slovenly unkempt appearance spelled embarrassment
