Bitchin' Babe

Wow as you passed slowly by
You really caught my eye
With your figure so top class
Can I grope and squeeze your ass?
You have a very ample chest
Can I fumble inside your vest?                                    
Are you moist beneath the waist?
Will you let me have a taste?
Oh your hips gyrate and tease
Let me split your whiskers please
Let me leave you in a state of bliss
If not I will gladly settle for a kiss

In the morning I get up

Head to the pub to have a sup

Drinking alone can be quite grim

But preferable to visiting a gym

The afternoon comes I’m getting drunk

Must go home and lay in my bunk

Morbid thoughts abound in my head

As I drift off to sleep with the undead

Night arrives and its getting dark

I jump out of bed up like the lark

Ready for adventure that’s good for the soul

Here’s hoping I can get me hole 🤗🤭😋

I thought the last line would be a bit of a giveaway, Lois 

Yes, technically it is published now, and I saw something that Charlie posted on another thread about a large number of visitors to the site, so I really ought to copyright it before anyone tries to steal it and claim it as their own 

Well done, F. 🤗
