Janelle was sexy in that nerdy sort of way
The kind girl you expect in band class and was
She had that rigid posture, instilled by
religious father

Derek was a guy who used lies to seduce girls
It had mixed results, pity seldom makes one wet
He told Janelle he had a rare form of bone cancer
That he’d be lucky to have five more years
It worked on her as they were dating

Derek had invited me to a house party
As his parents were out of town for the weekend
At the party I found Janelle to be quite charming
I could see through the high grades and religion
That she really just wanted to have fun, to let go
And that deep down she was wild
Unfortunately had I got too drunk
So drunk that I argued with a chair
Made up with said chair
And passed out shortly after

A few days later Janelle messaged me on Facebook
She wanted to come over and jam sometime
Which didn’t make sense
She’s a violinist, me electric bassist
Messaged received, I set up a day

She came over and we went to my basement
I asked her to play something for me
She did and played very well
After we started kissing
She told me she didn’t have long
That she wanted to go to my bedroom
We went up to my room and onto my bed
Janelle told me she wanted to finish me off
I saw, felt that wild side as she worked me
Like a thirsty gerbil at their little water bottle
Till she had every last drop
She cleaned up, rigid posture returned
To my surprise she thanked me and left

Derek never did have bone or any kind of cancer
So I had always hoped Janelle gave him a big sloppy and seedy kiss
