Small Black Reptile

Sporting effects
In a small black reptile
Broadened at the shoulder
And the swing at the hips
Room for a big fish
A crack of whips
Demander of service
And generous tips
Narrow in the eye
And the puller of wool
The bow on the purse strings
Diaries full, arrangements fixed
Room for a big fish
A crack of whips
Demander of service
And generous tips
Badges of office
Extensive plates
Cultivating pets
Expensive dates
Room for a big fish
A crack of whips
Demander of service
And generous tips
A crossing of arms
The sucking of cheeks
The appetite rich
From scaling peaks
Room for a big fish
A crack of whips
Demander of service
And generous tips
