Domestic Servitude
My
sweet Dominatrix,
I
promise not to play any tricks.
I'm
at my leisure to give you pleasure:
I’ll
do my work without a hitch,
You
pay me well, you're so rich!
I will
obey all your wishes.
I'll
start by - washing dishes.
And
when the last pot is scoured
I
will kneel and beg like a coward,
To
loosen my chain with a minimal pain.
Once
I've made your bed,
And
your Rottweiler's been fed,
For
the next hour let me deflower
The
vases in your windows,
Throw
out those expired bimbos
But
don't hit me at once,
I'll
go pick new ones!
Take
off my collar and I won't holler:
“Release
me from your fiefdom
So
that I may have my freedom!”
Instead,
I will crawl like a sloth,
My
hand clutching a cloth
And
lift the skirt to wipe off the dirt
That
has accumulated
Underneath
your pretty bed.
While
you have the funnies,
I'll
shake out the dust bunnies.
And
prepare the hot tub for a backrub.
Then,
if you promise not to miss me,
I'll
beg you to dismiss me.
