Women ! What can you say ? Who made ‘em ? God must have been a fuckin’ genius. The hair – They say the hair is everything, you know. Have you ever buried your nose in a mountain of curls… and just wanted to go to sleep forever ? Or lips – and when they touched, yours were like… that first swallow of wine… after you just crossed the desert. Tits ! Whoo-ah ! Big ones, little ones, nipples staring right out at ya… Like secret searchlights. Mmm. And legs – I don’t care if they’re Greek columns… or secondhand Steinways. What’s between 'em, passport to heaven. ---
