Oh lord; I'm a dragon on prescription <br />With fire waters too tame. <br />Oh don't get scared, babe <br />There are no ice waters in my veins. <br /> <br />But, oh babe I'm counting on you <br />Oh I've been counting on your tears… <br />On those long eyelashes trying not to cry <br />-Abed of rain, the way they've done for years… <br /> <br />Babe, pass me a chilled long beer <br />And sit on the sofa right over here <br />Woman you're just a drinking, amateur <br />And, oh babe I'm not fooling around… <br /> <br />Oh lord; I'm a dragon on prescription <br />With fire waters too tame. <br />Oh don't get scared, babe <br />There are no ice waters in my veins. <br /> <br />Oh sweet divinity, woman beholden <br />I'm just a child on a bike <br />Till, I'm eternally free of all your wanton rage <br />And passion for me <br />Oh I'm just looking to saddle or even freewheel… <br />Whatever's welcomingly, about? <br /> <br />Oh, oh, oh, all I want to do… is fan the oven <br />But, oh lord she's a lazy cooker <br />Oh Lord, have mercy, on their mercy, oh her <br />Oh lord even now at 84 I still love her <br />Fagan or scrooge, who am I to pretend <br />I've not got the blues, <br />I still want her or her younger sister's friend… <br />Over; my old rickety rocking, chair.<br /><br />Mark Heathcote<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/fagan-or-scrooge/
