Maria Says

=============== MARIA SAYS

 Maria picks up the telephone, says
"Tell me something I didn't know
 Don't talk about Michaelangelo
 Then you can come to town."
 
 Maria opens the apartment door, says
"Show me something I haven't seen
 Don't hand me your turquoise canteen
 Then you can crawl on the floor."
 
 Maria turns on the blender, says
"Give me something I really need
 Don't throw me those old cannabis seeds
 Then you can love me tender."
 
 Maria opens the bedroom, says
"Do me something I haven't done
 Don't do me like Bat Masterson
 Don't do me like a race you run
 Don't do me like a native son
 Do me like you mean something to me
 Then you can dance in my womb
 Then you can play like a man
 Then you can just scram."

 Maria opens her slender thighs, says
"Every journey begins with one step
 Every morning begins the night before
 Every welcome begins with an open door
 Every love begins with a kiss
 Do you think that's something I'd miss?"
