Called the Good Rub .
Where they threw me out the door!

When A Young Lady Dancing In A Field

When a young lady dancing in a field
Said, “all men to my charms must yield”,

May call him “my sweet honey”,
And smile while
The money lasts!

And savoured the sweet scent of perfume,

What brings you here?”.
She said, “this is my hotel room!”.

Said, “I have so many sins to confess!”.

She spoke of the bees.
And burst out of that very tight dress!
