He needs me.
I have him on my rope.
I lead him over
Fields full of flowers and clover.
He says I like your eyes.
I take him straight into
My dark dungeon.
He says can I
Touch your thighs.
I forget to feed him.
When I find him his
Corpse is smiling as wide as the sea.
Men don’t want much;
They are simple souls.
We should steal their bowls.
