she had no money when
she came to my door
acting friendly
she told me she was poor
but on her arms were bracelets
a shine in her eye
smiling brightly
she would bake me a pie
and in my kitchen was a spoon
and a pot
steaming visions
she told me she was hot
and the television channel
was a dud
playing dirty
she covered me in mud
while she looked good
and was everything i dreamed
breathing deeply
it wasn't what it seemed
with my rifle and
camouflage underwear
hunting trouble
she filled me full of air
