A man three times your age is frantically popping pills
for his inappropriate Lolita-like ills
& I’m inclined to believe your figure is on the wane
and not eating seafood on this Paris bound train.
The waiter watches as you pick your Lobster up and toy with it
You tease and taste the flesh.
While every man here imitates the lucky beast upon your plate
Their hand all turn to claws; I wait for applause.
In the silverware I play spy on the crowd behind
The female waiting staff are all in a line
And they say girls are immune to visual stimulee
but when you start on the mussels they all fall to their knees
They’re moaning now in unison and though they never learnt the song
They always knew the words.
They sing of temptress magazines, of miniskirts and office flirts
libidos fit to burst…well, well, well
Mr Potter has a lot to answer for
teaching us to all burst into song on cue
what was it like before this life?
And as we roll on in the dark it’s clear that no one’s getting off
this side of purgatory.
Brakemen in their uniforms are flashing smiles and growing horns
it slowly starts to dawn; I pray for applause.
