Dirty Deeds Lipstick and leather, ah, her name way Heather! Don’t need Y&T to remind me. No, life was a stage; she was coming of age, And somehow I set that tiger free! When she donned that spiked collar, I just had to holler, Yeah, she knew a thing or three about pain. But when she started screaming, ah man, thought I was dreaming Till the cops showed cause the neighbors complained. Teeth marks in my chest, was a life without rest, The times were fast but she was much faster. Still, it didn’t hurt my pride, though I tried and I tried; The never was a night that I could outlast her. Till one day I steered wrong, was but left with a song, No! I don’t believe that she even missed me. Still I smile with the vision of her makin’ love mission Etched in my mind from the first time she kissed me! When, from early morning, all through the night, storming; I’d be lying to say I met her needs. But that’s no reason for crying, cause it was dang sure fun trying My luck with ol’ Heather “Dirty” Deeds. Michael Anderson |

You're treading close to the end here, my friend. My Dallas Interlude wasn't into whips and chains (not quite), but I understand how Heather might have been called to mind by reading my little ditty (she sure was pretty). ~*~ Tell me whom you love, and I will tell you who you are.--Houssaye ~*~ |

Love your rhyme scheme and the little bit of tongue in cheek...... I'm hoping. Great title and story telling. Got a little bit twang to the bite there too. Good on ya, good poet! |

JP, well, I spent 6 months with her, we both used each other up, and she was definitely wild… those were the likenesses to your poem. Indeed, she was beautiful and worth the recollection. I thank you for bringing the memory back to me. Blues… just how much of the poem was tongue and cheek, one may never know. Believe me, there was plenty of that going on back then too. I think I drifted back to my heavy metal guitar playing days in writing this one… [T W A N G]. That’s probably it. Glad you enjoyed. Lori, glad I could make you smile. Jwesley, it was more like begging her to stop hurtin’ me. Glad you liked it. Ruth, well, she definitely earned the nickname… and no, I wasn’t the one who tabbed her with it. She is settled down now, and married happily. I still see her from time to time here and there… and though I doubt her memories of me are as memorable to her as my memories of her are to me, I like to think I still hold a special place somewhere deep down in her heart. Sometimes a look can say what words can never affirm. |
