By Don Kingfisher Campbell
We happen to love
to be toe wrestlers
You say I have the
longest tongue in the world
To me you have always been
the greatest eyeball popper
Even if people tell me
I could use a hand transplant
When we get together we're
sexier than balloon sculptures
I declare you can hold a live
rattlesnake in your mouth
Me, I'm a human domino falling
forever in lust without a parachute
Let everyone else balance
spoons on their faces in envy
