Circus Love

Last call announced the barkeep and then their eyes did meet
Betty the bearded lady and tom the 4 inch freak
Tom lowered his voice and made a pass "what are you doing later?"
Betty thought as she stroked her beard. "nothing sweet potater.."
People pointed , jokes were made but it fell on 4 deaf ears
Tom thrust his tiny shoulders back and ignored the painful jeers
"Betty," he said "The world can be such a cruel unfeeling place"
She said "I know my little pumpkin" and kissed his tiny face.
She carried him to the parking lot to the woods that laid beyond
Never before had either felt such an instant common bond.
"betty," he said gazing down at his tiny platform shoe.
"tonight I would like nothing more then to make sweet love to you"
She said "I'm a virgin" and he said "So am I" She said "dont you think that's weird?"
he said "Not really, I'm four inches tall and you know....you got the beard."
She pressed him tight against her bussom he inhaled her perfumed air.
He covered her neck with tiny hickies and stroked her facial hair.
The moonlight danced off his cowboy hat. She giggled and she swayed.
She un-did his tiny rhinestone belt...A cricket looked away.
She sat him down, unzipped her dress, still tipsy from the booze.
She tripped pulling off her panties and crushed him with her shoes.
Bearded Betty never married Her mistake sure took it's toll.
She still owns that pair of shoes and tom's still in her sole.
