How To Rock and Roll

she was like a sink drainpipe
and I was like a pretzel;
together, we were bent and twisted;
but that's alright since there were few evils
that either one of us had ever resisted.

she's dead now, God rest her soul;
and it's little wonder that between
her silence
and my distance,
that we were torn apart;
but boy oh boy, that girl knew
how to rock and roll.
