Oh so you plead not guilty?
Did it wash last time,
as you writhed with laughter,
as she sucked your pain on the floor?
Was she that hungry,
could she not get enough.
And tell me son,
Is a crab in hand,
worth two in a shell?
What a pretty little dress you have on?
Does it cover the stains so I wouldn't see?
How dare you hide all this....
And from me?
Did it occur to you I might have known?
When they say a leopard doesn't change its spots,
were you the example shown?
Why do you pretend I don't know,
about the caloused hips from too much.....
Did the nice man buy you a drink dear?
Did she whisper in your ear dear?
Took a while for the penny to drop.
Don't say your innocent too soon.
