In The Tub Talkin' To God

in the tub talkin' to God
told Him i won't look for a daddy
in my men anymore
my heart has been sore too long
no mortal lips can kiss it and make it better
father does not
know best
i am Mae West big and bawdy
gaudy and golden
beholden to no one but the gal
i see winkin' back at me
in the steamy mirror
naked and gorgeous
and very much
alive.
