God loves me! See that dolly through the window?
I’ve got to have that pretty dolly there!
I love the tempting way that she has grinned. Oh,
how stirring it will be to stroke her hair.
I’ll lift, so deft, her scanty, skimpy skirt up
to fondle furry wonder veiled with lace,
then on to disengage each pouting bra cup
and nibble swelling nipples, and to trace
with fervent fingers from her belly downward,
along her soft and yielding, creamy thighs,
while surging fires, racy, base, and wayward
engorge my tumid lance to record highs.
She’ll pant and shiver, sob and moan and tremble,
and strain to slake her fearful thirst with mine.
We’ll plunge and gyrate, part and reassemble,
enraptured, drunk with drafts of carnal wine.
At last long-courted lust will overcome us,
and frenzy’s consequence will take its course.
We’ll cease to writhe, then tense as spasms drum us,
and drown in sweeping waves of honeyed force.
I’m sure that all I’ve dreamed will come to pass.
The thing is. . . I’ll first have to meet the lass.
