The Path to Me

Winding long and narrow

Terrifying in every way

Nothing to drink or eat

And man, do you have to pay.

Spiders and snakes and frogs

Laying right there in your path

Walking around them isn’t an option

You’ll have to take their wrath.

Spitting fire and daggers

There are dragons along the way

Gnarly beasts you’ve never heard of

And yet, they like to play.

Other men will glare and sneer

Try to take you off course

You’ll have mountains to clear with zest

And you won’t even have a horse.

It’s your choice to carry on

Or quit while you’re ahead

Much easier women to get

When your goal is just your bed.
