Arms

Arms

Arms are everywhere

These days

Making offers

You can't refuse

Under the covers.

If you get in quick

You can make a killing

Casing the joints.

A stroke here

Or a stroke there

And it's all wrapped up,

One cut below the other

And if you're not careful

You could wake up beside

A horse's head.
