Playmate Of The Mouth

Sceptic at the feast in ashes
Huntsman at the voyeurs ball
Funeral Parlour-Guests invited
Mourning poorly worn by all

Old and mouldy words of passion
Savage Rose destroyed them all
Wrote her fate in Neon captions
Slender sender made me crawl

Playmate of the mouth expected
Passionata bless the small
Baby sandwich soaped for comfort
Slipp'ry Sliding Ten Feet Tall

(Gary Brooker-Keith Reid)
