COUNTRY HICK SET ADRIFT IN CONTINENTAL DISCO
Girl kisses boy &
Boy kisses girl. Girl kisses
Girl. Boy kisses boy.
Anything(it would seem) goes
& yet I stand here...kissless.
********
WATCH IT BUSTER!
Big Dutch butch...disco.
Eyeing up men eyeing up
“Her woman...okay! ”
Goes up...knees ‘em...in the balls
If she thinks they’re coming on.
*******
COUNTRY HICK LOST AS EVER AMONGST THIS COSMOPOLITIAN DISCO
Couple dancing slow
in the centre of the floor.
Not dancing...no more.
Actually...making...eh...love!
Glitter ball smiles on us all.
*******
AND HERE COMES THE GIRL’S GORILLA BOYFRIENDS...UH OH!
Two beautiful girls
dance sexily together.
Get cut in on by
two stupid boys too stupid
to know...they are not...wanted!
