Leather and Crepe, Tequila and Grape

they brought
me the news today,
saddle oxfords in black
and white and holstein cattle
changed - I knelt at the milk stool
to pray, thank god for my penny loafers,

country church
had a pot luck, I
stood behind the
heathen birch, the
creek rumbled, rocks
tumbled caked with moss,
she goosed her truck just as
the preacher rang the church bell,
outlaw of my prom in leather and crepe
paper danced away her good sense,

I walked in her
house, fuzzy black
light posters, she softly
pushed a mood ring on my
finger, and asked "What's your
mood?"

leather and
crepe, tequila
and grape,

I walked out
of her house,
fuzzy black cat,
the way this thing
turned out, pussy
inspires what's under
this cowgirl hat,

they brought
me the news today,
saddle oxfords in black
and white and holstein
cattle changed.
