Analysis of Deadnettle Date
squarely you stand in the field
amidst your tangy cronies
as if you’re really matching those
in their stinging strife
you threatening me with burning pain
makes me laugh, it’s just in vain
I do see sweet velvet lips
the red that flushes at your veins
and your smell keeps pleasing me
you probably don’t want to hear
but it’s a fact, you know
I would like to test your taste
maybe tomorrow I’ll take you
back to my home with me
then you can pleasantly lie
in my herbaceous tea
