Benn Bell - Victoria Falls

We were like two zebras passing
Through the shadows of Africa
She and I
She was my lady of the lake
Whom I loved like no other
She was my African Queen
In Ultra Sheen
My Hershey Bar
Movie star
As we cruised together
Down the Houston city streets
She fulfilled all my fantasies
The window rolled up tight
And the radio blaring just right
“Do you like to talk? ” I asked
“Oh yes, ” she purred
“Better and better yet, ” I said
“Because I’ll tell you straight out,
I am a man that likes to talk to a woman
That likes to talk! ”
She laughed and gave me a smile worth
All the rubies in Spain.
