wild thing

she could sing.

dance,

play

the piano.

she was the life of the party,

telling jokes,

making everyone

laugh.

she was the party

in her red dress.

her hair

flying around her

shoulders.

red heels

and lipstick.

she set the mood.

she didn't need to drink

a drop of wine,

no liquor touched

her lips,

no need,

for she was always

inebriated 

on a natural sort of booze.
