/// Her papà thinks her lover’s beneath her.
“He just lusts for the gold I’ll bequeath her.”
Papà locked her away
behind walls through the day,
and at night she is knocked out with ether.
/// She feels longing from deep in her soul.
Separation has taken a toll.
Lovers meet to feel bliss
despite bars with The Kiss.
(Papà calls iron gates “birth control.”)
/// Papà cruelly allows them to meet.
He assumes that his triumph’s complete.
That, therefore, there will be no
out-of-wedlock bambino.
But two can make love up on their feet.
/// So, despite what her father was thinking,
the two lovers got turned on while drinking.
They each found a position
to enable coition.
Iron bars were no bar to their linking.
/// He had thought her a fatherless waif,
with no Dad to object, and thus safe.
But attempting to mate
through that cold rusty gate
could cause lockjaw, or, at the least, chafe.
