Hoover of the Damned |

No point in asking why It wouldn't have played any different This is how it went down Now you can take it or leave it She was an ebony princess He was a slug from the mills But she could set him laughing chum And he'd feel like a king He'd throw down a bottle of 'tel She'd have the best of his cold duck He gave her that which he had She gave him what she would It was out among the terraces That always seemed to be afloat with the ladies That he drifted in hollow-eyed and dusted Her lips were still shining from giving change There below her gifted lips Was a drawl that could maim a member And he was sailing high on colas Looking through her low cut sweater She took him to her quilted quarters Where sainted Mardi's left their Gras She zipped him down in twenty seconds Left his change spread on the floor Brandy snifters, longing wishes She was the Hoover of the Damned And of the small dark tailored dandy The gutters claimed his last command She told me "play one for your supper Danny and maybe you'll get breakfast". |

"Hoover of the Damned" . . . An ingenious way of renaming the old standby. You are refreshing, Ticklefingers . . . ~*~ When they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |

Many thanks JerryPat! A little 'tailoring' was necessary to make it a better fit. 88's friend She told me "play one for your supper Danny and maybe you'll get breakfast". |

I have resisted responding as long as I can... I'm sorry, but the Hoover here has caused me to say this sucks! No rotten tomatoes please...I know it is a bad pun... just shoot me...I couldn't get it out of my head...just the way I roll my friend, silly as the proverbial goose...~L |

Don't feel sorry Miss Lori. I fully understand your disdain and respect your point of view. I had considered Eureka, Kirby, Electrolux and even Oreck, but none of those had dams named after them. Seriously though, good, bad or indifferent, many thanks for checking it out. 88's friend She told me "play one for your supper Danny and maybe you'll get breakfast". |
