Come Here Beautiful
Robert Pollard
A man said
"Come here, beautiful
I like your diamonds and coals
Mounds of gold
Screaming kisses"
He made this comment
To a woman of dreams
And yet she surely
Must be a queen
To perform
The mannequin must try very hard
To move
An intense fire came from the kitchen
And people scrambled for the exit
But the mannequin who could not move
She kept weeping snowflakes
The fire was extinguished
The people disappeared
And a man said, "Come here, beautiful"
He made this offer
To a woman of dreams
