Standing Room Only

Some days the trouser snake wont sleep,
he has a simple mind, to take me to the place
men like, that rests with womankind

And in a dance when only twenty, tight 
trousers were the rage, young waist and 
body pressed to mine he popped out of
his cage

His size increased to take the stage while 
girls at side did giggle, to see this creature
kick and jump, to ‘Beatles’ fiesty jiggle

So I sat down while he stood up, I cursed 
and swore to kill him, while maiden fair 
with thighs of gold pretended not to see him

And later when I walked her home, and asked 
her for a date, she answered yes and coyly said,
”Don’t forget your mate”
