“'Cause they say I do it ain't nobody caught me sho got to prove it on me." ~ Ma Rainey song do I remember those times? Law yes, I remember those times like they was yesterday fixin’ myself up of a Saturday evenin’ an walkin’ on down to the juke joint fine as I wanted to be fine as ary one of them fellows standin’ on the street corner lookin’ at the women I remember the taste of moonshine the sweet drape of woman arms heat of a body sashayin’ against me on the dance floor oh yeah I remember the warm musky smell of a woman’s neck the silk of her hands on my gold coin necklace heat entering me like a miracle Law yes I remember those times and I miss ‘em honey I miss ‘em |

I had such a vivid picture of this person in my mind, now that is poetry.  I sure enjoyed this."There's nothing worse that being an aging young person!" - Richard Pryor |
