The dark wheelbarrow
The dark wheelbarrow swayed me on the other side of the road,
Steady, sturdy, horny, healthy is all that these tricky bars bumped into
Blurry, marshy, prickly, thorny is what it created in a blink of an eye
The dark wheelbarrow carried a horrible burden, a terrible load,
Short, tall, slim, fat, eyes can perceive beauty in dirty skanks too
Here, there, where, when, minds can be read by a carnivorous thigh
My soul and my qualms of conscience can lather the gloomy curve,
That turning point cannot be reached by animals who strive to be me
My wrath will trash your impudence and that is the only dish I can serve
Milady, you will be lashed until your shadowy soul begs me to set it free
