A Bribe for your Lips

 

Take a chance on me, won’t you please

You might be delighted to find I’m full of surprises

Take a chance to see beyond what your expecting

And you might allow yourself to see whats actually there

 

I know you have expectations

And I intend to surpass them

I know you have bad intentions

But I can beat you, don’t be mistaken

 

This is not a competition of wits or humor

Not of intelligence, strength or cunning

I will win you over with the most precious of gifts

A sweet little treat, and sugar coated cloud

A soft edible snack, a holy kiss
