her name was kathy and she knew exactly how to treat her men. she loved her pappy, but never quite learnd how to say when. she made her money from married men who were never quite satisfied. the closest she'd ever get to a dance carreer in her life. she had a little girl at the tender age of seventeen. she named her lilly, and made sure that she'd always eat. lilly would reach up to the set on her breast, where the men stare less and less. until she bussed around on the street, and she said to lilly. "do as I say, not as I do do as I say not as I do, make sure you don't end up like me. do as I say, not as I do do as I say, not as I do, you were meant for more than your mother." they made it all of two weeks, in the fall of their homelessness. until she ended up in a truck with a man named rex. 50 bucks and hour to make sure her little girl goes fed. it only costs her her thighs bleeding through her dread. the first thing that she bought was a little brown teddy bear. with a card that said "Dear daughter, I'll always be there." then she found a man who wants an escort to a bar. they found her two weeks later in the trunk of his car. with a bear and a card that read. "do as I say, not as I do do as I say not as I do, make sure you don't end up like me. do as I say, not as I do do as I say, not as I do, you were meant for more than your mother." |
