A large bearded man with a Cockatoo
– former Sea Captain?
Yellow comb, pink under wings
The bird speaks as he hops from foot to foot,
“Wing Wing
– kiss kiss kiss…
Come here!
Come here!
– kiss kiss kiss…
Wing Wing”
The bird nuzzles up against the Captain’s chest.
So cute, so precious…
“This bird’s for sale, ” the man says.
“$24 hundred dollars…” (!!!)
(never mind)
Love for Sale…
Hookers on the Avenue
“Nice outfits.”
“Wanna date?”
Cops one for one –
one hooker, one cop…
ten hookers, ten cops.
No dates tonight, Honey.
My love is FREE!
“Wing, Wing
– kiss, kiss, kiss…
Come here!
Come here!
kiss, kiss, kiss…
Wing! Wing!”
She’s going home with the Captain!
“Let’s do it sideways.
Wing, Wing
kiss, kiss…
Come here!
Come here!
Kiss, Kiss…”
