Business is Business.
See anything you fancy? Bertha
asked opening wide her fur coat
to the guy passing by on his way
Home to his wife or maybe his lonely
apartment but the guy just walked
on a little faster with his face flushed
and his hat slightly askew and she
watched him go off into the crowds
and thought well you can’t win them
all some like the show some don’t and
she pulled her coat tight around her again
and waited for the next potential punter
watching the passing dead going off home
after a boring day at the office or store
thinking of the time some office punk
gave her a hard time and wanted the
full deal in bed and then went off taking
her purse and money and underwear
and bra while she was in the washroom
after the awful sex but as her mother
once said you can’t always get what you
want and besides business is business
and men are men one is bound to meet
some sad excuse for a man now and then.
