Love Bank

round every corner's a food bank

but what about people like me?

my table creaks with provisions,

I'm never short of salmon for tea

 

its a love bank my heart needs

somewhere to nourish my soul,

fill my breast with fondant fancies

its been far too long on the dole

 

I dream of hot charitable staff

eager women dressed to kill,

piling my basket with promise

red lips, ripe bodies that thrill

 

every week I'd return for more

and though love might run low,

there'd always be a lover left

I'd wander out, my face aglow

 

even better to pick and choose

I prefer long legs and brunettes,

not stale tins of chopped ham

or cans of tomatoes on pallets

 

some say we get molly-coddled

must stand on our own two feet,

yet lone people like you and me

need affection more than meat

Ah, someday they will (they probably already could if they wanted to) perfect the labels on cans to be miniature screens paper thin and flexible but more importantly with little video clips. And then my friend you will be able to pick up all the red lips you want and ripe bodies by the can full. It will be the same time in the future when trading standards no longer apply, you'll get your longed for produce home but when you open it up it will be peeled plum tomatoes and baked beans.

What about women who die their hair all the time? Or wear wigs? Cher wore wigs. I think I've dyed my hair more times than Madonna. I've been a red head, brunette and blonde, even jet black once, tee hee
