Her breasts were like gold
in a miner's pan.
A revelation of wealth
slowly appearing
with gentle effort,
yielding more treasure
with each passing of the hand.
Simple Things
Give to me the simple
things of life.
Great health,
immense wealth,
a vision of tomorrow.
If not these, then
love, understanding,
and the occasional
blow-job.
