Layla

Believes beauty is natural

She hardly ever wears make up

or goes to have her hair done

She like the feel of grass

between her toes

Layla has doubts about

 the story of Adam and Eve

Once she was sure a spell

 had been cast on her, she

chanted in the light of one blue

and two white candles to ward off evil

She has thoughts of becoming a witch

Layla adores toddles with

curly hair and devilment in their eyes

…..as long as they belong to

someone else

She fears all her creativity would

shivel up and die if she spent

eight hours a day chained to a

time clock

Layla never learned to cook

She has no desire to meet Betty Crocker

or hang out with Susie Homemaker

Sometimes she'll order a margarita

after I tell people I never drink

I wanted to go to the Dollar Store

but Layla took the wheel and

I ended up in Erie Pennsylvania

She drives 80 miles an hour with Aerosmith

vibrating the windows

Layla became a gear-jamming,

double clutching, 18 wheel driving mama

She wanted to see the entire USA

That didn’t last long

All she saw was flashing white lines as

the countryside blurred by

She feels Eric Clapton wrote

the song Layla  just for her

She especially likes the part,

“You got me on my knees

I’m beggin’ darling please”

Layla likes to wear

leather and 3 inch heels

Slaves, dressed in very little,

wait at her feet to satisfy

her every need

Fearing and longing for the sting of her

silver handled rawhide whip

Layla drives a red 1966 GTX 440

She loves to feel the powerful

engine rumble beneath her

She couldn’t resist when challenged

to drag race on east Exchange Street

She had the lead when the red

lights began flashing behind her

She asked, why didn’t you

pull them over too,

Then left me to deal with the situation
