Olly
Pulling out of the wheels heels on high
Even the campus barbees turn to their hives.
And the off-camp zaddies stares from their rives
Whining down their tinted to spy
As tall as a just-emerged miss world deified by a crowd,
Her head in the cloud.
With all the beauties of the world hidden behind a short gown
Aww, dote and drown!
Thighs uncladed, but they can only stare,
Stare they do, but they can't even dare
Oh, Forbidden Desire!
Sinful Olly
Prettier than the godly.
Uncladed, her cleavage,
A designed coincidence to wilden her beauty spectators, savage!
Grant us! Oh, grant us at least a drop of solace!
They cry, but she makes no promise.
Have I met you before?
I'm Olly; she said
Don't you recognize me anymore?
I do, I do; ask Ted
It's just that I'm dazzled,
Like a deer standing before a headlight, dazzled
By how such beauty could dwell under my brow,
And I've not noticed until now.
Your smiles, so infectious!
It gives me the cancer of the brain that I'm anxious.
It makes me forget the beauty of Amsel and Daisy
Both sisters of Disney,
Pious and dutiful.
Are they beautiful?
I've been blind to more things than one.
Lock your hand in my hand and throw the key in the sea
Rent my arm for your arm and pay no fee
That should you drop like a leaf from a tree
Let me be here to catch you in my palms, free.
Take one step at a time,
Leave men suffer.
Take one step at a time,
Leave them suffer longer.
