the lady’s doggerel

I am the lady of the lake                                      
I want the man of the land
to seize my pains & aches
to show that he’s no fake
I am the lady of the lake
I want to stand while I can
to prove that I’m no fake
to demon-strate that I give what I take
they know that I am the lady of the lake
& that I really need the man of the land
to be in the forefront when I awake
to grip my loins, for heaven’s sake!
I am the lady of the lake
I’ll take that man down on the land
to give him a whirl & give him a shake
to offer a chance & give a break
I am the lady of the lake
And I am bound to land that man
in a vat,in a net,in a crate
to make him a comrade & make him my mate!
