Gentlemen prefer blonde — Crystals/
Like that bitch in Dynasty/
Fake and cheap, it doesn't matter/
Honey sometimes; lemon always/

I keep thinking of him./
Simon was my wife’s cat,/
around long before me,/
and mean as a snake./

bump noun verb noun sans adjective, why/
wear a red flower, why to stay inside/
unless carrying an umbrella,/
why the sand must be wet.
