rack him
John Jessup Kennan 1953 (Pomona)
she'll fashion a whip
from the razor wire around her
heart & flog ya with it
leave you in a foggy
puddle you can order floggings
online use discount coupon
code some flagellants will make ya
hurt but never bleed cept internally
do you take platinum?
cat o nine shillelaghs with whipped
cream & cherries three for the
price uh two don't take it
personal tip well they take pride in
their work the flagellance take
that man to the elevator shaft self
flogmeisterings never as
satisfactory why do i do this to
myself is it to save you the trouble or
me the money whatcha doin
friday night pick me up at
eight & chuck me off the
roof before the clock flogs
nine
it was a profoundly tortuous
relationship but fortunately it didn't
last very long
