Maggie's Farm

[Lightning Rod]

Maggie's job was Damsel in Distress
her skill set was helplessness
Early on she learned
that men are fools for this

She kept a stable of eunuchs
to tend her every crisis
foreplay is 'OMG!'
"Help Me!," she entices

They fix the pipes and lay the floor
quiet the hinges on the door
"you saved me!" she says, "my Galahad!
Could you just do one thing more?....
If you do good, then I'll be bad."

If Maggie didn't need help
she would have no social life at all
helplessness is empowering after all
it's how she kept her independence
servants at her beckon call

Maggie is smart enough
smart enough to play dumb
She has a farm where all can come
and advertises on Craig's List
Help Wanted section
Work for Free. No Questions.
Your pay is this:
You've saved a damsel in distress

Great piece, I don't wanna work on her farm no mo....You got a really affinity for being Dylanesque at times...anyway time for my boot heels to be wanderin...

[Doreen Peri]

[Doreen Peri]

[Lightning Rod]

I'm going out on a limb here doreen

(ok, don't kill me quicky...make me suffer...I have sinned)

[Doreen Peri]

I think you missed the question. I was asking for Maggie's phone number.

[Lightning Rod]

Maggies minutes ran out
she needs help getting some new ones
she is in distress

[Doreen Peri]

Minutes?

My phone doesn't have a limit on minutes.

Poor Maggie. Sounds like she's not too bright.

Forget it. I thought she was smart. Guess not.

I don't need her phone number.

[Lightning Rod]

you can always call me

I wish I had unlimited minutes, unlimited weeks, unlimited years
limited charges and limited fears

how much does that service cost?
