72 Miles From The Sea

Sunday, 3 October 2021

She wanted him to carry her upstairs

Before he made love to her

But he refused to do it because

He was the lighthouse keeper

Her hair cascaded down

And he gasped at the sight

But then it was winter,

So not waxing was alright

She had butterflies in her stomach

When she walked round the Zoo

Which is why she was later banned

From the Butterfly House and the Zoo

He had a crush on his teacher

And he thought she said be mine,

While she was marking his essay

And what she said was B minus

They wanted to spice up the sex

To get back on the same page

So she dressed as a mummy

As she thought he was into bandage

Once in South-western Germany

In a time now only a tropical echo

Lived an insectivorous lizard

Known now as a Blackforest gecko

Diminutive Heroine of King Kong

The Queen of Scream, Fay Wray

Was beauty to King Kong’s beast

And was Queen of the B’s in her day
