Observe this spread of Earth’s sweetest joys,
Oh! Won’t you partake?
A plethora of fleeting streets, feats, and toys,
Witness not a single fake!
The world is wide, time perniciously short,
Usually squandered often.
This fine night, prove my worthy cohort
And time I soothe and soften!
Drink dry draughts of fine cheap beer, their
Sensual heat, so sweet!
Or sneak a snort of costly coke, my dear,
And from the dumps be beat.
Seize from the tree of Earth and see
Things Earth cannot hold!
Simply hold fast to your drugged repast;
You’ll feel as good as gold.
I wager, if lay you down besides a beaut, it
Should be a boon.
In no time flat you’d clutch the fat of her
Bare, fresh moon.
If it’s moons you desire, so shall I shower
Down wealth above;
For monetary value possesses practical power in
Luring lewd love.
Permit me whisk you away to a faraway realm
To exist in fantasy –
Leagues away from the bland, dreary helm
Of Captain Reality.
I promise your pleasure ne’er be begot,
A journey filled with ease –
You can be sure of that, friend, or my name is not
Mephistopheles!
