The Devil Made Me Do It

CLEAVAGE


MY DOCTOR HAS CLEAVAGE
IT’S HARD NOT TO NOTICE
AS SHE CHECKS ME
FOR ERRANT LYMPH NODES
IN MY HEAD
NECK
AND ARMPITS

THE GOOD HOLY NUNS SAID
AVOID BAD THOUGHTS
I THOUGHT THEY WERE PRETTY GOOD MYSELF

I THINK SHE’S GETTING EVEN
I CHALLENGED HER
AT MARDI GRAS
THAT I WOULD FLASH
IF SHE WOULD
I HAD TO SETTLE FOR A STRING OF BEADS

SHE’S HIGHLY IRREVERENT
ESPECIALLY WITH ME
SHE DEMANDS A JOKE EVERY TIME I VISIT
OFTEN WE CLOSE THE DOOR

I DON’T THINK IT WAS AN APPLE IN THE GARDEN
BUT A BEAUTIFUL PEAR
