| The Blank Check A little flirt Never hurt A smile, a wink, a flash of leg A little love and a few kind words Softly said and sweetly heard Make a starving spirit beg Its no kind of world For a twice-a-day girl Who's ready morning, noon and night For there's hardly a man With a once-a-week plan Who can push her button just right No harm in a dream Or so it would seem So long as its just a game Satin blindfold, studded choker Fishnet stockings and strip poker A salacious appetite do tame Hop on Pop With Mom on top Bring the next-door neighbors Wine corks and pop-tops Lost tops and trouser drops Make lovely party flavors When the game is through And the marker is due There's nothing left in the bank For counterfeit passion Has no lasting satisfaction And leaves a lover's heart blank ~Tammy |

| I Feel So...remarkably Blue Black and Blue Like a bruise Beaten and battered Threadbare and tattered But only outside So...long overdue A worn-out keepsake Like a ticket One-way to London The train someone didn't make Tear-stained and unused So...previously two Now one and three and none Like a problem A lesson in subtraction Multiplication and division Beyond solving So...undeniably true Heavy and laden Like a ship Coasting into harbor Seeking haven of homefires Journey-weary So...absolutely blue High-sky electric Like a hope Newborn and laid-bare Thrust toward heaven Demanding to soar. ~Tammy |
