Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

I wanted to be a priestess but settled for
doing a cheap burlesque novelty act.
I do it in church. The congregation
throws nickels and dimes into
the collection plate. It's enough
to feed me most days.

It ain't all that great
a career but I'm blessed.
It has less responsibility
than a priestess.

Plus, the bennies are pretty darn good.
I get to sleep with God on Friday nights.
Not to worry. It's always an immaculate
ejaculation. On Saturday afternoons,
the angels give me a bubble bath.
Sundays are reserved for
making love to the saints.

The rest of the week is routine stuff
but it ain't that bad. Work work work.
Never enough money or fame but hell,
I can't complain or blame anyone but me.

See? I took the gig. Not a small one,
by any means. But definitely
not that big.
