Her Breath


Her breath I think smells of my anus

But I cannot confirm this

As I have never visited my arse

She was once a great beauty

But has been hard fucked

By most of the men in London

And I would imagine their horses too

Her teeth that in youth were pearly white

Now resemble green rocks laid foul

By the oceans of disrepute

But she is all I have

I will risk her pox

And rotten cunt

For a few moments of favour

This I know will lead to my insanity

As God always punishes failed atheists
