Lost Between Her Thighs

Between her legs, he invests his future.
He is a hard worker, sleeps little, eats little.

At the end of the day, he pours his sweat between her legs.
In the light of day, they go their separate ways;
while he fights to make enough to please her.

She walks the streets in mini skirt, slaying young hearts.
His money is not enough, and his sex is never satisfying.

He carefully schedules to meet her, leaving the wife and kids.
He barks as dog at home, and meow as cat at her door.

Early morning, he checks his account balance, and scream, “Lost Between Her Thighs!”.
