Counting Crazy Lovers

entry picture

My first lover fast and wild

Went and robbed herself a liquor store as a child

I met her after her ways with a gun

She didn’t need no bullets to make me dance none... son

 

My second lover loved the Grateful Dead

She had stars in her eyes, acid in her head

She danced to music like a woman possessed

Feet firmly in the clouds and dancing breasts

Yet I digress

 

Cause I’ve been counting crazy lovers In my sleep

It’s so much more amusing than counting sheep

Crazy lovers punctuate your life

Crazy lovers make you feel all right

Sometimes the best way through the night

Is counting crazy lovers

 

My new lover has Chinese eyes

She’s a counterrevolutionary in disguise

Her momma never taught her to be demure

She’s compassion wrapped in leopard’s fur

Would you concur?

You had me hooked from start to finish.

'Feet firmly in the clouds and dancing breasts'

I never had such luck......where did I go wrong?

I'm just looking you up Michael after your comment on my blog. I do like the feel and tone of this one a lot. It is seemingly flippant yet conceals some real distinctive thought! I like the light hearted observations, shaking off any indulgence emotionally.
