There was a lady named Cass
Who on her deathbed passed gas
Respecting the dead
All stayed close to the bed
Hoping it would be her last...

there was an older lass named Cass
who liked to brag about her rowdy past
she said with a sigh

tonight I leaned on the pillow of tears,
of memories, of your blue gaze,

Cut from flowered leather straps – pink and yellow on white leather.

some blues, some slow-burning wood, two bodies in lust, and a penetration of souls.
The night is silent, silent with blues.

cord one song

at the time it took to

play for this was a one

soon and that's how he
remembers his first hearing
