Untitled #3 My Wife Left Me Poem by richard (mak) makinson

My wife left me saying I'm quitting I need a life
I sold my share of daddy's farm I'm hitting the town tonight
So I've got a million dollars my ex dont know about
Dumped my truck at the airport I'm on the next flight
I spent half the first day looking at the city so bright
Then standing in the garden I asked a lady of the night
Tell me why it is you do what it is you're doing tonight

Chorus

It's frightening it's exciting and I need the money Jack
keep your hands off me fella lets negotiate a price
it's a business I'm running I've got nothing that's free
so pay me now mister it's money that interests me


I went for a few beers at Mick Brady's old saloon
Filled right up with courage I went out to look for love
Down by the old statue that's where the taxi driver said
A dollar for the fare and twenty will get you laid
If you've got the ready cash you can have your say
Looking all around me I asked a lady of the night
Tell me why it is you do what it is you're doing tonight

Chorus

It's frightening it's exciting and I need the money Jack
Keep your hands off me fella lets negotiate a price
It's a business I'm running I'll do nothing for free
So pay me now mister or stop bothering with me

I went back to Brady's to think of what she said
He remarked it's a funny world when you think of it
I looked and saw a girl skirt right up to here
I almost collapsed as she touched me right there
Getting over the shock I bought us another shot
Got myself together saying if you're a lady of the night
Tell me why it is you do what it is you're doing tonight

Chorus

It's frightening it's exciting and I need the money Jack
All my parts need realignment so cut me some slack
Your money buys my tablets I've stopped growing facial hair
I'm going for gender reassignment next month I will be her
All my parts need realignment one day I'm gonna be she
Your money pays the surgeon next month I will be free
