    • Quotes

      Self - Host: She said, "Now we're alone, let's get cozy."/"I'll put something more comfortable on."/And I sat there biting my fingernails/for the full half an hour she was gone./The door burst open, she stood there/with all of me mates from the docks./And they all sang "Happy Birthday to You"/ and all I had on were me socks.
