Bobby Flash (8)

Bobby Flash thinks he’s

the coolest cat in Cottonwood

by far, keeps his car as shiny

as his shoes. didn’t pay

for either, which he considers

a pride-worthy deed.

A tribute to his powers

as a man. Bobby Flash,

the coolest cat in Cottonwood.

He’s got a dedicated chair

in all the hottest joints

and keeps a crib just

for entertaining the ladies

lucky enough to share his bed.

His pleasures all paid for

by his so-called fiance,

Loretta, and anyone fool

enough to shake dice with him

in the back room of a bar.

Got a little sideline biz

as well in the backseat

of the car, available

for two bucks an hour.

Loretta looks the other way,

believes that she’s the one

who’s got him on a leash.

The one he comes home to

when the greenbacks dry up

or he needs a new suit.

The one who works in

the backseat of the Buick

on her back or her knees.

So what if it’s fifteen years old?

it’s still the classiest sled

in Cottonwood and she rides

with Bobby Flash, he’s the

coolest cat in Cottonwood

in the flashiest car.
