At fifteen I didn't know much
I knew the mill owner's youngest gal was
hot like an apple pie cooling on a windowsill
There was only one way she would cool down
Wearing a dress that's hardly a dress

two full minutes
adjusting big bosom boobs

her hand smoothing down into
that valley of unknown mystery
By ten in the evening it didn't matter as
my hands hold a field day exploring
a world of valleys and streams
flowing out to sea
Yes her daddy pays me for work with trees
but it's her seasoned sawmill gravy
that keeps me on the job
loving the way she ladles it out
Now if this isn't smooth as molasses in Summer, I just don't know what is, Bill. This might just be one of my very favorites. Oh such Southern visual flair oozing-thick with sensory appeal...and I'm not talkin' bout the sap either!
